A substantial five-bedroom, bay-fronted period house packed with original features in one of Newport’s most sought after locations has been put up for auction.

The Edwardian residence, on Bassaleg Road, is ripe for updating and any new owner will be able to stamp their own personality of the property following refurbishment.

Once the work has been completed the property at 13-15, Bassaleg Road could well seem a good buy as the auction guide price is set at £190,000.

“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.
