Summary - NEWHAVEN, NEWPORT ROAD CF3 5UA
Approximately 0.44 acre private plot with mature lawns and patio areas
A substantial detached family home set on just under half an acre (0.44 acres) at the head of a private drive. The property offers generous room proportions throughout — a 23ft lounge, 22ft dining room, 21ft kitchen/breakfast room, utility, four bedrooms (one en suite) and a large reception hall — making it a genuine family layout with versatile living space. Off-street parking is excellent with a deep, wide keyblock driveway and a detached double garage.
The house benefits from mains gas central heating, uPVC double glazing (installed post-2002) and an EPC rating of C, but it requires general refurbishment to modern standards. Walls are cavity-built with no added insulation assumed, so buyers should budget for upgrades (insulation, cosmetic works, possibly mechanical/electrical updates) to improve energy efficiency and finish.
Positioned close to St John’s Independent College and local amenities with easy access to the M4/A48, the location is convenient for schools and commuting. Practical positives include a very large private plot, mature planting, and multiple patio sitting areas. Note the local context: the immediate neighbourhood is classified as hampered with above-average crime and higher area deprivation — factors to consider for resale or rental potential.
Sold chain free, the house offers clear scope for refurbishment, extension or reconfiguration subject to consent. It will suit a family seeking space and privacy who are prepared to invest in modernisation, or an investor/developer able to take on a renovation project in a large plot with strong parking and access benefits.
