This substantial detached house on Newport Road blends 1930s character with generous modern living space, ideal for a large or growing family. At about 3,336 sq ft the layout includes five double bedrooms, six reception rooms and four bathrooms, offering flexible space for home working, play and entertaining. The south‑west facing rear garden and off‑street parking for several cars add practical family appeal.
The property shows clear value drivers: high ceilings, multiple reception rooms, fitted solar panels and a mix of boiler plus underfloor heating. Several bedrooms have ensuite facilities and the master suite offers generous proportions with walk‑in wardrobes. The large plot (approx. 0.29 acre) gives scope for outdoor living, landscaping or modest extension subject to planning.
Buyers should note material and location considerations. The home sits in an area described as socio‑economically challenged and broadband speeds are slow. Construction details indicate cavity walls with no added insulation (assumed), so further insulation and energy upgrades could be needed beyond the existing solar panels. Council Tax is band G and described as quite expensive. The house appears lived‑in and would benefit from a cosmetic refresh in places to fully realise its potential.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home with strong space and location benefits, and clear potential for improvement to increase comfort and efficiency. It will particularly suit buyers seeking generous internal proportions and outdoor space, and who are prepared to invest modestly in upgrading insulation, finishes and connectivity.
