Seven 'fixer-upper' properties for sale in Newport right now

For many of us, being stuck in lockdown has got our imaginations whirring and our minds wandering off to the next creative project we can get stuck into.

For some, thoughts have naturally turned to houses - which is understandable, given the fact that we've been stuck in them for such a large chunk of this year.

And while getting your hands on a property that's immaculate and all ready to move into is the easiest choice, there are undoubtedly some people who have whiled away hours in lockdown dreaming about tearing down walls and going at it with a tin of paint like they were in an episode of DIY SOS.

This list of seven 'fixer-uppers' from across Newport is for those people.

Whether you're looking for a family home or premises for your new business which took off during lockdown, it has you covered.

Caerleon Road, St Julians

(Pinkmove)

£200,000

Pinkmove

This property is truly something else. Sure, it may not be the cheapest on this list, but boy, do you get a lot of cool house for that price.

Full (and we mean full) of quirky period features, this four-bed terraced house would be a history-lover's dream.

Sure, it may need to be dragged into the twenty first century, but if you like your house to be a bit different then this could be the one for you.

Chepstow Road, Maindee

£74,950

Davis & Sons

This end of terrace house could be a great project for anyone looking for commercial office or shop space with the added bonus of developing the first floor above into a residential space.

The property is in need of full renovation, but there are original features throughout and the property is right at the heart of busy Chepstow Road.

Take a tour of this £1m Newport house that looks like a Mediterranean villa:

Jones Street, Baneswell

£100,000

Pinkmove

Fancy a family home within walking distance of the city centre? Then look no further.

This two bed terraced house on Jones Street could be a fun project for someone looking to get their hands really dirty and create completely unique.

Sure, it needs a lot of work - but that's all part of the charm.

York Place, Stow Hill

(Haart Newport)
(Haart Newport)

£180,000

Haart, Newport

Do you ever find yourself dreaming of a big period property with huge airy windows, heavy wooden doors, and big fireplace surrounds?

This could be your chance to get your hands on one and make it your own. With its bright rooms and high ceilings, it's so easy to let your imagination run wild with what you could do with it.

It is a house begging for someone to go and put their mark on it.

Bristol Street, Maindee

£100,000

Another good opportunity to get your hands on a family home and put your own personal stamp on it.

This two-bed terraced house, close to Chepstow Road, is in need of full renovation.

But don't let that put you off - it has an attic conversion, lovely little garden, and is in a great location.

Lloyd Street, Somerton

(Haart Newport)
(Haart Newport)

£100,000

Haart, Newport

This little house is actually deceptively large. It packs three bedrooms and a rear garden into what is actually a much larger property than it appears to be.

And it could be one for those among you who aren't looking for a huge project. Sure, it could do with some modernisation, but it isn't in need of a massive amount of work.

Tredegar Street, Risca

(M2 Estate Agents)
(M2 Estate Agents)

£100,000

M2 Estate Agents

Okay, time for something a bit different here. What if you're not looking for somewhere to live, but rather somewhere to base your business out of?

This former building society office building in Risca could be the perfect place. Right at the centre of the town's high street, a 10 minute walk from the train station, it's in a great spot and has retail space at the front and an office at the back.

And, being a former bank, there's obviously also a chance to get pretty hands on and creative with the property.
