A Rare Piece of Local History – Grade II Listed Three-Bedroom Cottage, Forge Lane, Bassaleg
Welcome to your new home!
Open House Sunday 16th November, complete your details to book your slot.
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)
