Classic keeps up with the trends

This extended gem combining the best of the old and new and in a popular Newport pocket is indeed a rare find.

Traditional open fireplaces, hardwood polished floors and built-in wardrobes in each of the two bedrooms and high ceilings and a freestanding bath in the main bathroom are among the home’s long list of highlights. An impressive open-plan hub incorporates lounge and living areas and a sleek-looking kitchen.

There’s the bonus of an attic with a fold-out staircase, giving the new owners the option of using it as storage space or as an extra bedroom.

A thoughtful extension with soaring ceilings boasts polished concrete flooring, an expansive brick feature wall and north-facing clerestory window that provide an enormous living area with light and ventilation. From here, sliding doors open to a deck, low-maintenance courtyard and shed.

The house is hydronically heated.
