5 bedroom detached house for sale

Welcome to your new home!

Properties like this rarely come to the market in this area. Set back from the country, road hiding behind the large gates, you will find a long driveway leading to this unique home.

Once two separate cottages and a bungalow, believed to have been built for the local farm labourers in around 1706, this property oozes character, with a wealth of original features. The property has had over £70,000 recently spent on ECO improvements, bringing it up to date regarding energy saving and supply.

'Potential' is the word to keep in mind. This property could be so many things, it just needs the new owner to add their stamp and guidance.

The main house is comprised of three double bedrooms, the master being extra-large (having once been two rooms now knocked into one). Additionally, a full-length attic room is ideal for a playroom or an office, and there is also a large upstairs family bathroom.

Downstairs, you will find three entrances in total, with four rooms and two large hallways. The main entrance is accessed via a porchway leading into one of the hallways with both living rooms situated on either side and the kitchen at the rear. You will find original fireplaces in each living room and an original exposed flagstone floor which could be a real showpiece once treated, sealed, and polished.

The potential comes with the scope to expand through a rear extension. You could easily keep within permitted planning to expand the kitchen and rear room as well as go up a floor to expand the bathroom and add a fourth bedroom to the main house; or with the right planning you could make this property something extraordinary indeed. Let your mind go wild.

In addition to the main house, you will find a bungalow containing one bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a sitting room. This requires a full renovation, but is full of original character. This is attached to the main house and could be left as a separate dwelling, or incorporated into the main house by adding an extension or a simple archway through an existing wall.

In the main courtyard you will find a two-storey garage with space above; this has the potential to be a one-bedroom flat or would make a great office space. There is a fully functioning kitchen in the main room, and either a bedroom or second office at the rear with a bathroom. This is a great space looking for an identity.

The land surrounding the property includes three gated fields, as well as the main garden and workshop areas. There are two aircraft-style workshops, one with a two-poster car ramp, four stables with electricity and water, and a hay barn. The plot is vast and well laid out, with a separate entrance and long driveway to the side of the property; again all situated back from the main road.
The current owner has created sound banks using natural materials which also offer privacy.

The property has all the ingredients for someone to come along and create something out of this world, which could be a simple redecoration, or a full renovation and extension.

You are a stone's throw away from the local pub, and right in the middle of an RSPB nature reserve spanning the Goldcliff coastline. Locally you will find the Wetlands Visitor Centre and coffee shop, a yacht club, and the Spytty Retail Park with a variety of shops, restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets.

You are close to Junction 24 M4 Cardiff to London, and Newport train station is easily accessible.

The current owner has nothing but praise for the neighbours and the real sense of community you get from living here.
