The pubs for sale in Newport where you could be the new landlord

Many aspiring landlords and landladies dream of owning their own pub.

From fixer upper projects to established favourites you could move into at the drop of a hat, there's plenty on the market in Newport waiting to be snapped up.

Some already turn a more than tidy profit so, with favourable property market growth in the city, it could turn out to be a smart investment.

And some of them could turn out to be an absolute steal.

Here's some of the pubs on the market:

The Queen's Hotel

The Queens Hotel in Newport is currently a popular Wetherspoons (Rightmove)

Offers in the region of £850,000

JD Wetherspoon listed the Queen's Hotel on Bridge Street for sale in March last year.

The Lloyd's No 1 bar is a popular spot for grabbing a reasonably priced bite to eat in Newport and a favourite night out.

The Queen's Hotel has 29 bedrooms including eight single rooms, four family rooms and a wheelchair-access room with en suite shower facilities.

Wetherspoons say they will trade as normal until a buyer is found.

The Waterloo Hotel & Bistro

Advertisements for Woodbines Cigarettes, Haig & Haig Scotch Whiskey, and Bass Ale adorn the walls, with stained glass windows sheltering visitors from goings on in the street.

Restaurateur Bob Evans has run the pub for the last 14 years, but recently decided to sell up and enjoy a well-deserved retirement.

The building, alongside the business as a going concern, is on the market for £695,000 and recently dropped £100,000.
