A Rare Piece of Local History – Grade II Listed Three-Bedroom Cottage, Forge Lane, Bassaleg
Welcome to your new home!
Originally built in 1828 by Lord Tredegar as part of the historic Tredegar Estate, this beautiful Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage is one of just four original homes created for the estate’s workers and their families. With records confirmed by the National Trust, it’s truly a home with a story to tell.
Step inside and you’ll find a delightful blend of period charm and modern comfort, lovingly restored by the current owners to preserve its heritage for generations to come.
### Inside
Enter through a handcrafted wooden door into a welcoming hallway with bespoke storage that blends seamlessly into the character of the property.
The living room is a perfect mix of old and new – boasting arched windows, exposed stonework, and the original fireplace complete with a working log burner and even the original bread oven. It’s easy to imagine families gathering here over the centuries to keep warm on winter nights.
Moving through to the kitchen-diner, you’ll find a generous space perfect for entertaining, enhanced by the stunning half-moon window. The kitchen is fully modernised with a six-burner range cooker, bespoke shelving and wine rack, and a flagstone floor with underfloor heating – combining style, warmth, and practicality. A handmade rear door leads to the private courtyard.
### Upstairs
The two-tier hallway leads to three bedrooms:
* Master Bedroom – Light, airy, and larger than average, featuring those distinctive arched windows and an original fireplace. Plenty of room for a super-king bed.
* Bedroom Two – A spacious double overlooking the courtyard and farmland beyond, with another original fireplace and ample storage.
* Bedroom Three – Perfect for a child’s room or home office, with access to the loft.
The family bathroom is modern and fresh, featuring a white suite, stylish tiling, a walk-in shower, and convenient motion-sensor lighting.
### Outside
The home enjoys both shared and private outdoor spaces. The courtyard is shared between the four historic cottages, with each having its own section for privacy. Beyond this is a brick-built shed and steps leading up to a landscaped private garden with decking and planting, overlooking peaceful farmland views where cows and sheep often graze.
### Community & Location
Living on Forge Lane means becoming part of a truly friendly and close-knit community. A unique covenant grants residents shared use of a nearby field – ideal for dog walks, football, and summer barbecues organised by the homeowner’s association.
Located in Bassaleg, a sought-after suburb on Newport’s west side, you’ll have:
* Excellent local schools, including Bassaleg School
* Beautiful green spaces like Tredegar Park
* Easy access to junction 28 of the M4 and Pye Corner train station (with direct routes to London Paddington)
