Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION Set within a beautifully wooded garden plot of approximately 1.25 acres, this impressive Detached Former Rectory offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history just 1.2 miles from Newport Town Centre. Dating back to 1862, the property is full of original charm and character, with elegant proportions and a wealth of period features throughout.

Inside, the accommodation is exceptionally generous, comprising a series of distinguished reception rooms including a Lounge, Library, Dining Room and Sitting Room. The Kitchen/Breakfast Room, Pantry, Conservatory/Utility, Cellar and Ground Floor Shower Room complete the ground floor layout. Upstairs, there are Five spacious Bedrooms, a Study, Bathroom, Separate WC, and an additional Attic Bedroom above.

While the property has been well-loved, it now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to update and enhance the interiors to suit modern living, while preserving its unique heritage. Prospective purchasers should budget for renovation works, as the home would benefit from sympathetic refurbishment throughout.
