The order means that no-one is allowed to enter the premises for three months. Anyone who attempts to enter the property could be arrested.
Sergeant Chris Butt, of Gwent Police, said: “High levels of anti-social behaviour linked to this property has negatively affected the quality of life for residents within King Lane for a number of months.
“Officers have worked with residents and partners to obtain this closure order.
“I hope that this reassures residents that if they have concerns about problem premises which are causing harm to the community, they can report it and we will work hard with our partners to take action.
“Tackling anti-social behaviour is a priority for us and I would urge anyone with any concerns to get in contact.”
Gwent Police have issued some advice on how to report anti-social behaviour.
