A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of History – Full of Character and Endless Potential
Tucked away behind private gates and set back from the country road, this remarkable property offers a rare chance to own a truly unique home in an idyllic rural setting. Accessed via a long, private driveway, this characterful residence is steeped in history and offers exceptional potential for transformation.
Believed to date back to around 1706, the property was originally two cottages and a bungalow, built to house local farm labourers. Today, it stands as a spacious and distinctive home brimming with charm, period features, and modern eco-conscious upgrades. Over £70,000 has recently been invested in eco improvements, ensuring energy efficiency without compromising its timeless appeal.
Main House Highlights:
Three Double Bedrooms: Including a generously proportioned master bedroom, formerly two rooms now combined to create a stunning retreat.
Full-Length Attic Room: Ideal as a home office, playroom, or creative space.
Spacious Family Bathroom: Located on the first floor with scope for expansion.
Versatile Ground Floor Layout: Featuring three entrances, four reception rooms, two large hallways, and a welcoming porch. Both living rooms boast original fireplaces and there’s an exposed flagstone floor ready to be restored as a standout feature.
Development Potential: Ample opportunity for rear and upward extensions, potentially adding a fourth bedroom and enhancing the kitchen and bathroom—all within permitted development rights.
Additional Accommodation:
Attached Bungalow: Comprising one bedroom, a kitchen, bathroom, and living area. In need of renovation, this space could remain a self-contained dwelling or be seamlessly integrated into the main house.
Two-Storey Garage with flat / office above: With a fitted kitchen, potential living space, additional room (ideal for a bedroom or office), and a bathroom. This space is ready to be transformed into a guest suite, home office, rental unit, or merged with the main house via an infill extension.
External Features:
Extensive Grounds: Including small orchard, well-maintained gardens, and ample courtyard space.
Outbuildings: Hay barn, and four powered stables with water supply.
Natural Landscaping: Sound banks and privacy features created from natural materials enhance the setting.
Location:
Perfectly positioned in the heart of the RSPB Goldcliff Nature Reserve, this home is just a short stroll from the local pub and minutes from natural attractions like the Wetlands Visitor Centre, Goldcliff Lagoon, and a nearby yacht club. Spytty Retail Park offers convenient access to supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and cafes.
Commuters will appreciate the proximity to Junction 24 of the M4 (Cardiff–London) and the easy access to Newport train station.
Community & Lifestyle:
The current owner praises the strong sense of community and the warm, welcoming neighbours. Whether you're seeking a tranquil retreat, a family home with room to grow, or a unique project with vast potential, this property offers a rare and exciting opportunity.
