Description
Luxury city living for a first time buyer or fantastic investment opportunity.
Known now as 'The Old Arts College' this wonderful red-brick building with a copper dome stands in Clarence Place on the east bank of the River Usk, close to Newport Bridge. It was built on land purchased from Lord Tredegar and opened in September 1910. Known locally as the former "Art College" or "School of Art", the Newport Technical Institute and its School of Art evolved from the Newport Mechanics Institute.
After the School of Art relocated to the University of Wales, Newport Caerleon campus, the building fell into serious disrepair.
In 2008 redevelopment began to convert the building into luxury apartments and was completed in 2012. (Information credit - Wikipedia)
We enter this grand old building via double solid wooden security doors which plunges us into the most fantastic, grand and imposing entrance reception.
Restored to it's former glory, this vast central reception area has the most beautiful grand double imperial staircase which leads to the upper floors.
This ground floor duplex apartment is one of the first apartments off the main reception and we enter via a giant wooden door which sways open onto a good size entrance hallway with solid oak flooring and stairs to the first floor, door to superb size storage cupboard.
Another door leads us into a fitted kitchen with inter grated appliances which is open plan into a good size lounge area with a fantastic cavernous ceiling and mezzanine floor. The apartment is light and airy due to a beautiful window which is at least twenty foot high and is secondary glazed with UPVC windows which tilt and turn.
The staircase from the hallway leads us to a landing which opens seamlessly into a double bedroom on a mezzanine level with feature glass and chrome balcony, overlooking the ground floor and sharing the wonderful large picture window which floods in natural light.
From the landing we also enter a modern shower room.
The property is approximately 7 minutes walk from the city centre and is set to the side of the Newport City River Walkway.
Just less than 5 minutes drive to the M4, it is perfectly set for commuters and locals alike.
With a potential rental income of approximately £785pcm, this is also a fantastic investment opportunity.
