If you are looking for an opulent, practical and secure place to lay your head, in a desirable area of Newport which is convenient for the city centre and the railway station, then this apartment is for you.
Situated in the iconic and imposing Shire Hall building in prestigious Pentonville, formerly the home of Monmouthshire County Council. Grade II listed and dating back to the Edwardian period, this impressive property has been sympathetically converted to retain many of its beautiful original features such as high ceilings, oak panelling and large windows as well as introducing a contemporary twist with high specification kitchen and bathroom and underfloor heating. The apartment comes with 2 allocated parking spaces.

Immaculately presented and interior designed to show home condition, this property is a perfect pad for a professional couple or an exceptional investment opportunity with rental expectations of around £1500 per calendar month.

Property briefly comprises:

Communal ground floor entrance:
Access is via an imposing front door to the main reception hall which comes with the original tiled flooring and a marble and stone staircase rising to the first floor landing. Entry can be granted via secure door phone entry.

First floor landing:
The entrance to the apartment is off the large communal landing with chandelier, feature window and roof lantern. So much character, simply wonderful.

Entrance hall:
Entrance to the apartment is through a solid wood panelled door. Wall mounted electric heater, doors to the living area, bedrooms and sumptuous bathroom.

Open plan living area/kitchen :
Extremely impressive reception area, it's difficult to decide what to look at first! Could it be the sheer size of the room, the beautiful original oak panelling, the wonderful original plaster cornice, the double height ceilings or the magnificently large windows which let light simply pour in. 2 beautiful hand made oak fireplaces with modern electric convector heaters adorn each end of the room. The room, although open plan, with its mixture of tiled and carpeted flooring offers a number of different seating and dining zones. Perfect for entertaining. The area is heated by a combination of underfloor and high tech programmable efficient convector and economy 7 heaters.

Also in this space is the quality fitted kitchen area which comes with Corian work surfaces and breakfast bar to accommodate upto 4 persons. The kitchen offers a range of integrated appliances including a Neff oven and microwave, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/drier. Inset stainless steel sink with drainer. Tiled floor with underfloor heating.

To the side of the kitchen area is a walk in storage area offering plenty of space for the vacuum cleaner, ironing board, additional refrigerator or freezer etc.

Places of interest

    Our family business, Freelancer, initially started trading as a lettings agency in 2012. From the first day of trading we were licensed members of ARLA, members of the Property Ombudsman scheme and accredited with the National Landlords Association. We are now licensed members of the Welsh Government’s Rent Smart Wales scheme. We moved into sales relatively recently, coerced into it by our landlords with properties to sell who only wanted to deal with us. Our track record to date has been exemplary, with our fastest sale taking place after the first viewing after just 2 days. So what makes us special you might ask.... As an independent family business we are motivated to keep our customers happy. From the beginning of your sales or lettings journey we promise to give you our undivided attention. We'll get to know each other well so you don't have a stranger answering your calls. Many of our clients have become personal friends on Facebook - and we love making new friends! As a small business we are able to act quickly in the leads we receive, whether it is for a sale or let. Strike while the iron is hot and all that. We don’t believe in making people wait a week for a viewing, they’ll find something else before then.
