A FOUR-BEDROOM terraced house in city centre Newport with a front that shows its history but in need of ‘TLC and elbow grease’ is up for sale.

The property on Mellon Street in the city is part of the Cooperative Society’s Buildings that are marked in striking green and white, with an 1898 datestone.
