A detached property occupying 6.5 acres with panoramic sea views and origins linked to World War II military operations has been listed for sale in Newport.
Situated on Penylan Road in Bassaleg, the residence is priced at £1,850,000 and includes four en-suite bedrooms. The sales particulars describe it as an exceptional opportunity providing outstanding vistas across the local area and the Somerset coast.
Access is gained along a 245-foot tree-lined concrete approach fitted with an automated entry system. Visitors arrive beneath a column-supported covered entrance. The accommodation is arranged over ground and first floors alongside a basement, comprising a reception hallway, a 26-foot reception room, a distinct dining space, and a bespoke cinema room.
The principal living area features full-height double glazed units and sliding doors that lead to a terrace offering spectacular 180-degree views across the grounds, an ornamental lake, and the sea beyond. The landscaped gardens have been maintained to a high standard and include a grassed area, a summerhouse, a koi pond, and various planted sections.
The kitchen and breakfast room includes modern high-gloss cabinetry, a six-burner hob, integrated Siemens appliances, and Corian work surfaces. A adjoining utility area provides storage, a ground floor toilet, and garden access. Further facilities include a leisure and pool complex equipped with a dual endless pool system.
Parking provision is generous, consisting of three separate double garages alongside a linked double garage. A cobblestone-style courtyard supplies additional vehicle spaces.
Equestrian facilities stand at the property entrance. The listing indicates this structure would require some renovation work and that the roofing material could potentially contain asbestos.
The site’s military heritage as the former Pennsylvania Artillery command centre during the Second World War remains apparent, with original elements such as a concrete gun platform and former ammunition storage building still present.
The location provides easy access to the A48 and M4 motorway. The property has an energy performance certificate rating of A.
