A substantial five bedroomed bay fronted period house retaining many original features in one of a Welsh city’s most sought after locations has come on the market.

The Edwardian residence in the city of Newport’s highly desired Bassaleg Road area, does need updating.

But once the work has been completed the property, at 13-15, Bassaleg Road, could well seem a good buy with an auction guide price set at £190,000.

Being sold by South Wales based Paul Fosh Auctions, the high ceilinged home bursts with awesome retro charm.

Sean Roper, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: “The property , to be sold with vacant possession, does require upgrading but will make a stunning family home once completed, complimented, as it is, by features such as original doors, tiled floors and fireplace and a really stunning feature staircase.

“With a wealth of style the red brick house has three lofty reception rooms and downstairs cloakroom/w/c. There are the five bedrooms to the first floor and there is a wonderful enclosed rear garden with lawned area and patio.

“The property is situated in a sought-after location in the city of Newport close to local amenities and shops and convenient for access to Newport City centre and the train station and good road links to the M4.

“There’s an entrance hallway, living room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, downstairs cloakroom/wc. On the floor above is the landing, five bedrooms, bathroom. There may be scope to extend into the loft if desired).
