Description
Nestled discreetly in the heart of Newport’s charming old town, this beautifully presented pre-1900s terraced cottage offers a rare blend of historic character and modern comfort. Deceptive from the outside, the moment you cross the threshold, you’re met with a home that is exceptionally light, stylishly appointed, and far more spacious than first impressions suggest.
Thoughtfully renovated and impeccably maintained, the property showcases original period features such as stripped and polished wooden floorboards, while enjoying the benefits of gas central heating and double glazing throughout. The layout is both versatile and inviting, offering two generous double bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a shower room), and an expansive open plan sitting and dining room with log burning stove, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in comfort. A separate home office provides a peaceful retreat for working from home or creative pursuits.
To the rear, a surprisingly large, beautifully landscaped cottage garden bursts with colour and character, with mature planting, flowerbeds, and secluded seating areas, while a charming private courtyard just off the home office offers a serene space for a morning coffee or alfresco dining.
Despite feeling tucked away, the property is situated in the heart of the town and just a short stroll from shops, restaurants, amenities, and transport links, making this a truly unique opportunity.
