Accommodation

Approaching the front door and immediately upon entering in, you'll get a sense of the tasteful investment that has been made into creating a charming, yet sympathetically modernised 1920's home. Into the hallway area, you'll see the stairs straight ahead with sitting room to the right. This cosy room is to the front elevation and is the ideal tucked away space from the open plan area that makes up the rest of the ground floor. From the left of the hallway the space on offer apparent right away, with a large open plan room spanning the length of the property and featuring a bright double aspect. The current owners have this arranged as a space to work from home, flowing into a dining area, but could easily be adapted as a further seating area and open sitting room. This sociable space is without doubt one of the great stand out features of the home, with views over the south facing garden and walking through into the kitchen. Here there is ample storage space in the form of wall and base cupboards and drawers, with worksurface areas and a stainless steel one and a half bowl sink/drainer. Built in there is a dishwasher, eye level electric oven and a large induction hob with extractor canopy over. A quirky cupboard houses the recently installed boiler (as of February 2023) and allows space and plumbing for a washing machine, tucket out the way. An alcove makes for an open pantry area, also providing space for a free-standing fridge/freezer. A single door steps out to the rear garden and a convenient downstairs cloakroom with wash hand basin and WC make up the rest of the downstairs.

Heading upstairs, the hallway gives access to each of the three bedrooms as well as the family bathroom. To the left is the principal room, which is a stunning room displaying a characterful fireplace and lovely double aspect over both the front and rear elevations. There is useful built in storage and is a most spacious room, while bedroom two across the landing is located at the front of the home - another generous double room. Bedroom three is a comfortable single room or study/office, as currently utilised by the owners. Rounding off the internal accommodation is the family bathroom which is fully tiled and comprises a WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and a panelled bath with shower over.

Outside & parking

To the rear of the garden there is a single garage which can provide parking for one car. The garage is connected to power and is accessed from Corporation Street via an electric roller shutter door. On street parking can be found on adjoining roads such as Clinton Roads and Corporation Street behind the property. There is potential to create an off road parking space by removing the wall at the back of the garden, subject to the relevant consents.

At the front, the property is set back from the road, with a few small steps leading up to a raised shingle area leading to the front door, bordered with fencing and attractive shrubbery. The back garden is very well secluded and features a sunny aspect facing directly south. Access is provided at the side of the property from the front, via a pedestrian gate and onto an area of shingle which adjoins the back of the home. It is primarily laid to lawn with a path running through the middle towards a side door at the back of the garage, while there is an abundance of greenery decorating the outside space. An abundance of neatly trimmed small trees and established shrubs make for a very attractive and private garden, with potential to extend if one desires. A great level of detail has gone into meticulously caring for the home inside and out, including a completely replaced roof only around four years ago.

Owner's comments

"As a young working couple, living in Newport has been perfect for us. We are close to work and are only a short walk away from most local amenities. We enjoy going to Rock Park, it's very close and a regular mind freeing stroll which doesn't require much thought. Our rooms are dual aspect which allows lots of natural light to come in. We really love how bright, open and calming this makes our home feel. Our home is triple glazed throughout, which makes the outside world almost seem go away. Quiet time in, reading a book or watching a TV show is our sort of thing. We love our beautiful green garden, it maintains a quiet & private feel and receives lots of sun throughout the day. We are unfortunately moving on to our next chapter and will miss this house dearly. We hope that the next family will enjoy this characterful Edwardian home for years to come."
