Telford Close, Newport, NP10

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a truly exceptional five-bedroom detached family home in one of Rogerstone’s most sought-after residential locations.

Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, the property is approached via scenic countryside lanes or, from the other direction, across a beautiful stone bridge over the historic Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal. This unique position places the home just moments from the much-loved Fourteen Locks Canal Centre and the idyllic canal walk, a great place for walking, running, cycling, and dog-walking. For families, there’s a large public field at the bottom of the cul-de-sac—perfect for children’s games and dog walks.

This spacious home, built in the late 1970's, has been thoughtfully preserved to retain its original character while offering extensive accommodation across two floors spanning over 2000 sq ft. It is the kind of property that rarely comes to market, combining architectural charm with practical family living in a setting that is hard to beat.

Set back from the road, the property benefits from a large driveway capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, flanked by mature colourful hedging and planting. The integral tandem garage, stretching over 30 feet, provides ample space for parking, storage, workshop or gym. As it opens off the hallway there is potential for conversion (subject to planning permission) to suit a wide range of needs.

Upon entering, you’re welcomed into a large, bright entrance hallway that immediately showcases one of the home’s most distinctive features: the original open-tread staircase, a beautiful design element. The original wrought iron balustrade is currently safely stored but could easily be reinstated to further enhance the staircase’s charm. The sense of space is immediate and continues throughout the entire home.

From the hallway, you access three generously proportioned bedrooms on the ground floor. The first bedroom, located to the front of the house, enjoys a peaceful outlook over the front garden and includes fitted wardrobes for convenient storage. The other two bedrooms are positioned at the rear, overlooking the serene and well-maintained back garden, also includes fitted wardrobes—ideal for children’s rooms, guest accommodation.

Also on this level is a luxury family bathroom that has been finished to a high standard and benefits from underfloor heating. With a separate shower enclosure, full-sized bath, and high-quality tiled walls and flooring, this space feels both contemporary and inviting. A well-placed utility room sits off the hallway as well, offering practical access to the side of the home—ideal for laundry and daily chores, or for those with pets. Further storage off the hall includes a double coat cupboard and another cupboard currently used as a pantry.



Upstairs, the first floor opens up to a large and inviting living area. The lounge is a particularly striking space, filled with natural light from large windows and a glazed door that open out onto a front-facing balcony. This outdoor space is perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening relaxation, offering elevated views over the quiet cul-de-sac. A unique feature is the original bar with feature glazing above, which sits to the rear of this great room, perfect for gatherings. The room flows effortlessly into the rear-facing dining room, creating an open and sociable environment that is perfect for entertaining or family life.

The kitchen has been tastefully updated and offers a comprehensive range of fitted units, built-in appliances, and a stylish peninsula breakfast bar that provides an informal dining space. The open layout between the kitchen and dining room ensures that cooking and entertaining can happen seamlessly, and the outlook to the rear garden is particularly pleasant.

Also on the first floor is a modern shower room, adding further convenience and flexibility for larger households. Two additional bedrooms on this level are currently used as home offices, making this property ideal for professionals working remotely. These rooms could just as easily function as additional bedrooms, guest rooms, or studio spaces, depending on your lifestyle and needs.

Outside, the rear garden is a private and beautifully maintained space with a combination of mature planting, manicured lawns, and multiple patio and seating areas. One seating area sits beneath the shade of established trees, offering a cool retreat in summer, while the other is positioned to capture the sun throughout the day. The garden provides an excellent balance of relaxation and recreation, with space for play, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors.

Access to the garden is convenient from both sides of the property, thanks to two side entrances, while the rear aspect remains private and peaceful—an ideal setting for family life. This property also benefits from solar panels which generate an income of around £750 a year.

For families, the availability of excellent local schools is a key advantage of this home’s location. Mount Pleasant Primary School, a well-regarded and popular choice, is just a short walk away, there is a local Welsh-medium primary school or a Catholic school option is available in the wider area, offering families great choice. At secondary level, the property sits firmly within the catchment area for the ever-popular Bassaleg School, known for its strong academic results, community spirit, and wide range of extracurricular activities.

Location-wise, this home couldn’t be better placed. Rogerstone is renowned for its village charm and excellent amenities. Local pubs such as Tiny Rebel, The rising Sun, The Ruperra Arms and The Tredegar Arms are within easy reach and provide welcoming spots for dining or socialising. The nearby canal path leads south into Newport or north directly to Forest Drive, a popular destination for weekend strolls or family bike rides.

Commuters will appreciate the proximity to the M4 motorway and Pye Corner train station, which offers direct links to Cardiff and Newport, and onward connections to Bristol and London. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is remarkably well connected for travel, work, and leisure.

This home is a rare find: spacious, full of character, and set in one of the most desirable areas in Rogerstone. The combination of period features, flexible accommodation, and unbeatable location near the canal, countryside, and top-rated schools makes it a standout opportunity for any buyer seeking a forever home.

Properties of this type and location do not come to market often, and early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle on offer.
