A Rare Opportunity – Delightful Period Cottage with Exceptional Garden and Garage in Prime Newport Location

Chequers Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this much-loved period cottage, proudly positioned within easy reach of Newport’s excellent amenities, highly regarded schools, and medical centre. Having been in the same ownership for over 40 years, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a deceptively spacious and characterful home with a wonderful, walled garden and a double-length garage.

The accommodation is both inviting and versatile. A double-glazed entrance door opens into a useful porch with tiled flooring, leading through to the hallway, which features twin display alcoves, a window overlooking the front garden, and direct internal access to the garage. From here, doors lead to the main reception areas.

The sitting room is a bright, sunny space with a feature living flame gas fire and patio doors opening onto the garden, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with a comprehensive range of country-style units, generous worktop space, a built-in eye-level Bosch double oven, and an electric hob with extractor hood. A window offers views across the rear garden, while a door leads to the utility room, which provides plumbing for appliances and further garden access. A ground floor WC completes the downstairs layout.

Upstairs, a generous landing—flooded with natural light from a large picture window. There are two spacious double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and lovely views across the gardens, along with a third single bedroom overlooking the front. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a three-piece suite, additional shower cubicle, tiled walls, and window.

The property’s front garden is enclosed by a boundary wall and laid to lawn, while the double-length garage provides private parking for two vehicles.

One of the true highlights is the beautifully enclosed rear garden, enjoying a high degree of privacy and bordered on one side by the impressive historic stone wall of the former manor estate. The garden offers lawned areas, well-stocked fruit and vegetable beds, and three mature fruit trees producing apples and pears. A charming outbuilding, currently divided into two rooms, offers scope for a variety of uses—ideal as a studio, home office, or garden retreat (subject to any necessary permissions).

This unique home must be seen to fully appreciate the space, character, and potential it has to offer.
