Affordable starter buy close to town, hospital and local amenities.
Chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace with private garden
Chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace with parking and private garden, positioned a short walk from Newport town centre and St Mary’s Hospital. Solar panels reduce running costs, and the layout includes a good-sized lounge, kitchen, utility/outbuilding and two double bedrooms — a practical starter home or straightforward buy-to-let.
The property is compact (about 603 sq ft) and built in the late 1970s/early 1980s. There is no central heating system present; electric heaters are assumed, and the glazing was installed before 2002. Walls have partial cavity insulation (assumed), so further energy improvements are possible and likely to increase comfort and value.
Local factors to note: the immediate area scores as deprived with a higher local crime level. The house will suit buyers prepared to accept or address these issues — either as an affordable first purchase to personalise, or as a rental with clear budgeting for maintenance and security measures. Council tax is low and transport, shops and schools are within easy reach.
Overall this is a practical, low-entry property that offers clear potential. The most attractive features are the location, allocated parking and solar panels; the principal drawbacks are the lack of a heating system, compact footprint and local area challenges which buyers should factor into future costs and refurbishment plans.
