Property description
This beautiful period cottage is definitely something of a rarity - having been completely re-furbished by the current owner over the last 15 years, it offers modern living whilst still retaining lots of original features. Add to that the panoramic views over open countryside, the ample driveway, large landscaped garden and close proximity to Newport town centre and there is nothing more you could wish for!
Briefly comprising Lounge/Dining Room, (over 18ft in length!) modern Kitchen, 2 double Bedrooms and Bathroom, there is uPVC D.G. and solid-fuel C.H. throughout. With the attachment to the neighbouring property being limited to one small section of the cottage, its orientation gives the illusion of a detached dwelling and the sheer overall plot size provides space and privacy.
