A beautiful three-bedroom detached house whose rear garden — designed by Charlie Dimmock and the Rich Brothers for BBC's Garden Rescue — sets it apart from everything else at this price.<br/><br/>The Ground Floor<br/><br/>The entrance porch eases you in gently before opening into a living and dining room that feels generous from the moment you arrive. It's a sociable layout — the kind that works equally well for a quiet evening in and a room full of people. A projector setup at one end currently doubles as a home cinema, though the space is versatile enough to configure however suits. The spacious conservatory off the dining room is a delightful space, with double doors leading onto the sunny patio. Natural light moves through well, and the whole ground floor has an easy, unhurried feel.<br/><br/>The kitchen leads off from the dining arear, and opens directly onto the rear garden, on a south-facing plot, that connection between inside and outside is something you use every day. The white glossy kitchen units provide generous storage and there is copious work surface space, while natural light pours in from the large window.<br/><br/>A very handy downstairs WC sits conveniently off the main space. What was the garage has been converted into an additional room that defies easy categorisation — home office, snug, playroom, creative studio, this would also make a lovely guest bedroom. It's warm, enclosed, and separate enough to feel like its own world. A generous cupboard under the stairs provides even more storage. <br/><br/>The First Floor<br/><br/>The three bedrooms upstairs, are all well-proportioned. The principal bedroom has its own ensuite, which makes the daily rhythm of a busy household significantly smoother. Bespoke fitted wardrobes and cupboards with integrated lighting provide the ultimate storage, meaning the room has a calm and uncluttered feel. The ensuite has a large walk in shower, modern tiling and more sleek storage. <br/><br/>The second double bedroom has a wall of built in wardrobes, and is generous in size. Facing the front of the house, with large windows and views over the cul de sac and the trees beyond. A third double bedroom is currently being used as an office but would make the perfect bedroom. The modern family bathroom has stylish tiling, and a newly fitted power shower over the bath, creating a luxurious and calm retreat. <br/><br/>The whole house is immaculately presented and is ready to move into, having been freshly decorated in pale, neutral tones throughout. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms mean the house stays cool in summer, while the beautifully maintained finish means this home is ready to be lived in and enjoyed. <br/><br/>The Outside<br/><br/>This is where the house earns its reputation. The stunning rear garden was redesigned by Charlie Dimmock and the Rich Brothers as part of BBC's Garden Rescue in 2018/19 — revisited by the programme again in September 2025, when it was recognised as one of the standout transformations of the series. The design blends structure with naturalistic planting, a tranquil water feature, and wildlife-friendly elements that draw birds and pollinators through the seasons. South-facing throughout, it holds the sun from morning to dusk.<br/><br/>To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking, with a neat path leading to the entrance porch and side access into the rear. An electric car charging point and leased solar panels (EPC B) round out a home that thinks practically about how it's lived in.<br/><br/>The Area<br/><br/>Duffryn sits in the south-west of Newport, a quiet residential area that works hard for those who value access without noise. The M4 is close — junction 28 is under five minutes — making Cardiff and Bristol equally reachable. Tredegar House and its grounds are practically on the doorstep: two hundred acres of parkland, a walled garden, and a National Trust café that are within walking distance.<br/><br/>For day-to-day life, the Duffryn shopping centre handles the essentials. Further into Newport, the independent food and drink scene has quietly grown — Tiny Rebel Brewery, Coffee on the Common, and The Snug are all within reach for a slower weekend pace. Fourteen Locks and the canal network offer proper walking country without having to plan ahead.<br/><br/>Schools locally include John Frost and Ysgol Gyfun Gwent Is Coed Schools, with primary provision at Tregwilym and St Joseph's RC making it the perfect spot for families. Transport links are excellent, being just minutes away from Junction 28 of the M4 allowing easy access to Newport, Cardiff, Bristol and beyond. Newport City Centre is just a short distance away. <br/><br/>Tenure: Freehold<br/>Council Tax Band: D <br/>Local Authority: Newport
