114, Bassaleg Road, Newport, NP20 3PX

Guide price £325,000-£350,000 Bassaleg Road is not a house that was tidied up for sale - it is a house that was reimagined with purpose, and the difference is felt from the moment you step through the front door.

The hallway sets the scene - a sweeping black bannister, a sense of purpose and quality in every detail.

A glass door leads you into the front living room, where a bay window floods the space with light, and an original cast-iron fireplace lends the kind of character you cannot manufacture.

Walk through to the kitchen-diner, and the ambition of this renovation becomes clear.

Handleless taupe cabinetry, slab-fronted grey metro tiles, a breakfast bar for morning coffee and evening conversation, and an imposing bank of units that frames the oven as the centrepiece it deserves to be.

The dining space beyond is generous and sociable - but the real talking point is the view.

Parkland stretching out beyond the windows, light pouring in, a backdrop that makes this room genuinely difficult to leave.

A separate room off the kitchen offers a natural home office, with a shower room and WC completing this floor.

Beneath the rear of the house, a lower ground room opens onto the garden with dual-aspect windows, making it far lighter than you'd expect.

Call it a snug, a bar, a games room - it's whatever your life needs it to be. Upstairs, four bedrooms.

One double has its own bay window and an original cast-iron fireplace - a nod to the ground floor's character. The remaining three are individual and well-proportioned.

A modern family bathroom serves the floor with clean, unfussy lines. Outside, a concrete driveway with graded chippings provides generous parking to the front, with a lawned area alongside.

To the rear, a flat garden looks out over open parkland - a view that keeps on giving long after moving day.
