3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Pilton Vale, Newport NP20

Guide price £220,000 - £230,000

Tucked into an established residential pocket of Malpas, this is a comfortable three-bedroom home arranged over two floors, with an open, sociable ground floor and a rear garden that has clearly been loved and tended. It suits a first move up as much as anyone wanting settled, low-fuss family space close to Newport's north-side amenities.

The Ground Floor

The front door opens straight into a light and characterful lounge, with a broad window overlooking the front garden, a marble fireplace set with a gas fire, and the staircase rising to the first floor. Wood-effect flooring carries through into an adjoining dining area - an easy, sociable space for family meals and gatherings - which in turn connects to the kitchen at the rear. Fitted with cream shaker-style units and solid timber worktops, the kitchen has a range-style cooker with an extractor over, tiled splashbacks and floor, and a window above the sink framing the garden, with doors opening out to the rear.

The First Floor

A central landing with a storage cupboard connects the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal double is fitted with mirror-fronted sliding wardrobes and enjoys a bright, elevated outlook over the rooftops toward green hillside beyond. The second double also has a fitted wardrobe, while the third - a single - makes a natural home office, study or child's room. The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with a shower over and glass screen, a pedestal basin and WC, with part-tiled walls and an obscured window.

The Outside

To the front, a block-paved path leads to the door through a garden softened by mature shrubs and planting. The rear is the real character of the home: A block-paved patio for seating and dining, strung with festoon lighting and bordered by established, colourful beds - palms, grasses, lavender and hydrangea giving it a relaxed, cared-for feel. A garage sits to the rear, with gated access to the plot.

The Area

Malpas is one of Newport's most established and sought-after northern suburbs, popular for its balance of everyday convenience and greener, settled surroundings. Local shops, schools and services are close at hand, with Newport city centre a short drive away and the M4 within easy reach for commuting toward Cardiff and Bristol. Parks and open space nearby add to its enduring appeal with families and downsizers alike.
