Pillmawr Road, Newport

Chepstow-based Architects Hall + Bednarczyk led the transformation of Art's and Craft's Westwood into a contemporary and spacious home, consisting of three bright bedrooms, two sleek living spaces and a well-established garden, all in a sought-after location.

The wide entrance with its welcoming porch is lovely and light due to the part glazed front door, while decorative tiled flooring only adds to the kerb appeal.

The real heart of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen, designed by YourSpace living, which features areas to eat and lounge too. We adore the dramatic cabinetry and contrasting Corian worktops, while turquoise splashback injects life and personality into the space. It’s a beautifully sleek and contemporary design with integrated appliances and Rangemaster cooker for the modern cook. You’ll find a tiled floor underfoot (heated of course) and expansive doors leading out to the garden. So grab that macchiato and enjoy it al fresco. The apex ceiling is loftily high adding airiness while the glass bi-fold doors and skylights both flood the room with natural light. It’s a definite showstopper.

At the front of the property are two spacious bedrooms where relaxation is king. In one there's an original feature fireplace to warm you on even the chilliest of days, while the oak flooring adds to the warmth and a beautiful angled bay window that lets the light flood in. The second bedroom opposite is very similar in style with large skirtings, oak floor and large windows.

Tucked under the stairs is a uniquely designed snug that is the perfect hideaway spot and with a window that provides natural light you can retreat to read your favourite novel or go undisturbed as a home office.

There is also a beautifully composed second reception room that could be configured as a fourth bedroom. Incorporated into the space are large double-glazed doors that allow the natural light to flood in, solid oak floors running throughout and another stunning original fireplace.

A spacious bathroom sits on the ground floor, with a large walk-in shower, particularly handy for visiting guests. It's as stylish as you can get.

Heading up the bespoke oak staircase or you could take the lift, you’ll find another good-sized bedroom; offering bags of space to accommodate family and guests. The exposed brick chimney breast here is what extends the characterful feel upstairs and pop your head out of the dormer window and you'll catch a glimpse of the Tump. On this floor, there's another bathroom large enough that it has a tub.

In the rear garden, enjoy al-fresco dining on the patio area while kids and dogs roam free on the large lawn. And when the entertaining’s over and the guests are gone, curl up on a comfy lounger and watch the sunset. The real showstopper and where the wow factor continues is in the garden room that's bordered by mature trees. Whether it’s yoga or pilates, a gym, a substantial hobby room or even an incredibly special home office, it makes a wonderful light-filled space, however, you love to spend your time.

• Three words :  Light. Style. Space.
