We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
The Ground Floor Fields Park Road presents itself in keeping with the other imposing properties on this highly desirable and established residential road.
Built around 1890, this is a house that carries its age with confidence — a natural stone canopied entrance leading into a grand hallway where original floor tiles and stained glass detail on the inner door set the tone immediately.
Tall ceilings, large windows, and a warmth that is apparent from the very first step inside.
The front reception room is anchored by an imposing fireplace with a working gas fire — a focal point that gives the room immediate presence and permanence.
A large original sash bay window fills the space with light and, as the current owners rightly point out, is the perfect location for a Christmas tree.
The middle reception room connects the front of the house to the rear, with French doors opening directly onto the garden and plenty of natural light throughout.
And then there is the generously proportioned family room — with original wood block flooring, a large double-glazed bay window overlooking the garden, and a natural flow through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is a generous space for both cooking and entertaining, with a double-glazed window and door opening onto the patio. A ground floor WC with shower sits off the kitchen.
The First Floor Four bedrooms continue the Victorian narrative.
The principal bedroom is double aspect with original sash windows and lovely views across the mature trees opposite — calm, private, and beautifully proportioned.
The remaining three are all generous doubles, reflecting a property of this era and offering a flexibility that speaks to their size.
A huge loft sits above, offering further potential for those who need it. The family bathroom has a claw foot roll top bath and wooden wall panelling.
The Outside The rear garden rewards those who spend time in it at every hour of the day.
A stunning large porcelain patio catches the morning sun — generous enough to host comfortably and finished to an excellent standard.
Steps lead up to a lawned area that catches the afternoon light, and further steps to a small upper terrace that comes into its own in the evening.
Mature shrubs, a garden shed, and side access through a wooden gate to the front complete a secluded and private outdoor space. The option of reserved parking sits directly outside the property.
The Area Fields Park Road sits at the heart of one of Newport's most sought-after residential neighbourhoods.
