About
Set on a private and mature 0.6-acre plot on the outskirts of Newport, The Farthings is an impressive five-bedroom detached home offering over 2,850 sq ft of beautifully designed living space.
With a modern finish, spacious entertaining areas, and substantial outbuildings, including a four-bay garage and a separate double garage, this property combines lifestyle, comfort, and versatility in one.
Accessed through electric gates, a sweeping gravel driveway provides secure parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the main house and garages.
Inside, the ground floor features a striking open-plan kitchen and family room that measures over 25 feet and opens directly onto the garden terrace.
A large island unit, sleek cabinetry, built-in appliances, and a coffee station are at the heart of this vibrant, bright space.
A comfortable lounge area with a fireplace and sliding doors offers an excellent setting for daily living and entertaining.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a formal dining room decorated with botanical accents, perfect for hosting guests.
A separate lounge provides a more traditional atmosphere, complete with a fireplace, deep red tones, and French doors leading to the garden.
A versatile study and a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom offer flexible living arrangements, while a utility room and two cloakrooms complete the spacious ground floor.
On the first floor, a generous landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring fitted wardrobes, dual-aspect windows that provide expansive countryside views, and a sleek en suite shower room.
Bedroom two also has a stylish en-suite bathroom via a dressing room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower, a free-standing bath and black marble tiling.
The outdoor space is a true highlight of the property.
The rear garden, mostly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging, includes a wide terrace with multiple seating areas, a hot tub, and beautifully landscaped flower beds.
A timber garden room serves as a perfect retreat or entertaining space for summer gatherings, and the grounds feature a stunning cedar tree along with additional established planting.
One of the standout features of The Farthings is its range of outbuildings.
In addition to the main residence, there is a detached four-bay garage block that includes a workshop, WC, and storage areas, ideal for car collectors or those seeking conversion potential (subject to planning), as well as a separate double garage with further storage options.
