About
Tucked away on Highbury Road in the sought-after area of Newport, this extensively renovated semi-detached home is offered with no onward chain.
Having been comprehensively upgraded, it presents the rare opportunity to step into the character of an older property with the turnkey convenience of a new build.
Ideally positioned close to well-regarded local schools, a doctor's surgery, and the town's golf course, while giving easy access to the popular Tarka Trail, the location is highly practical for families and downsizers alike.
The frontage features a generous tarmac driveway providing ample off-road parking, leading to a smartly presented detached garage with a newly installed electric roller door.
The well-maintained exterior of the property sets the tone for what lies within-a home that has been thoughtfully updated throughout with a high attention to detail.
Step through the front door into a bright, welcoming hallway that feels entirely reimagined.
Finished with crisp, contemporary flooring and filled with natural light, this central space provides access to the primary living areas and two ground-floor bedrooms.
Leading directly off the hallway, the spacious living room serves as the heart of the home.
Characterised by a large bay window to the front and bathed in light, it provides a versatile space for modern life.
The new fitted kitchen is finished with navy shaker-style cabinetry, marble-effect worktops, and integrated appliances.
There is a brand-new oven, induction hob, and stainless steel extractor, along with dedicated spaces for a fridge-freezer and an under-counter dishwasher.
The rear glazed door opens onto a veranda, which grants sheltered access to a utility cupboard housing plumbing for laundry appliances.
Beyond the veranda lies a seating area and a considerately landscaped rear garden, featuring raised timber beds and a level lawn.
It is centred around a mature lilac tree, which serves as a focal point in a quiet, low-maintenance garden. Back inside, the ground floor includes two well-proportioned bedrooms.
The first features a bay window and an additional window overlooking the garden. This light and airy room benefits from significant storage space, making it an ideal guest room or home office.
The second is a double room sitting quietly down the hall adjacent to the shower room. The newly installed shower room is immaculate.
A crisp white basin is paired with marble-effect splashbacks, a dark navy shaker vanity unit, and a generous walk-in shower enclosure, offering a previously unused and pristine environment.
Head up the staircase and discover accessible eaves storage to one side and the master bedroom to the other.
This room is a large, light-filled double boasting elevated views of the surrounding countryside and the nearby golf course.
It is complemented by its own ensuite, providing a compact, contemporary, and private space to start and end each day.
With every detail meticulously addressed-from the peaceful garden to the smart heating system-this property delivers the rare peace of mind of a home where all the hard work has been done, and is ready for immediate occupation.
