Number One Agent, Katie Darlow is delighted to offer this four-bedroom, detached property for sale in Bassaleg.

Located in a peaceful and private position, this extensive family home is well-positioned within short distance to local amenities, with fantastic road links to the motorway. Ideal for a family, with well regarded schooling nearby, Bassaleg is a lovely residential area, neighbouring Rogerstone and only minutes into the City Centre. Newport has a busy high street, Friars Walk Shopping Centre and Newport Market, where restaurants, retailers and local businesses can be found. Newport train station similarly allows for easy commuting with links to Cardiff, Bristol and London. 

The property was built in 1934, and has been lovingly renovated and maintained by the current owners, who have lived at the property for twenty years. Original oak flooring can be found to the ground floor, with newly laid oak tastefully extended to the rear extension. Oak panelling in the hallway creates a wonderfully opulent first impression, with the WC neatly tucked to one side. Solid oak doors create a wonderful flow, matching with the panelling, with the oak staircase continuing to the first floor. The front reception room benefits from a minster stone fireplace, acting as a beautiful feature to the space, in addition to the spectacular cornicing and coving to the ceilings, which were created by ‘ABC Mouldings’. New windows have been added, in keeping with the original character of this home, with a tulip stained glass design that runs throughout the property. The resin driveway to the fore was redone seven years ago, extending the driveway to allow for more parking. The principal bedroom boasts a half tester bed, giving the room an imposing sense of grandeur, with the woodwork in keeping with the original flooring and fitted wardrobes. Brass plug sockets and light switches can be found throughout, with the smallest details considered. 

On the ground floor there are two reception rooms to the front of the property, with a bay-fronted living room and spacious study that overlooks the large patio and gardens beyond. To the rear, the property was extended, to create a further dining area with a bright sun room at the far. This space is wonderful for entertaining, with the kitchen next door. The kitchen benefits from granite worktops and a range of bespoke pine wall and base units with integrated appliances to include a dishwasher, Belfast sink, fridge/freezer and an Aga. Side access the breakfast space allows access to the garden, which offers a generous lawn with mature trees surrounding, making it wonderfully private. There is also a useful pantry from the kitchen, which allows space for utilities. A convenient cloakroom can be found from the hallway, with under stairs storage. A resin driveway provides off road parking for several vehicles in addition to the single garage with an electric door, and a lawn area adjacent. 

To the first floor a beautiful landing opens to four bedrooms, three of which are double and the fourth a comfortable single with an ensuite shower room. The principal bedroom benefits from original oak flooring, fitted Hammonds wardrobes and an ensuite, while the second bedroom enjoys the wonderful garden views. The double extension allowed for a bright third double bedroom to be added, which is the largest of the rooms, and is superb for guests or could alternatively be the principal instead. The fourth bedroom is a cosy single, with wonderful character and plenty of natural light with velux windows. This room is ideal for younger family members, with the grown up addition of an ensuite shower room and fitted Sharps storage. The family bathroom can be found from the landing, similarly benefiting from Imperial porcelain, with a free-standing roll top bath suite and separate corner shower. The WC is just next door.
