Homes in Newport
Newport is a small market town in Telford and Wrekin, with a wide Georgian High Street and many listed buildings. Harper Adams University, an agricultural college, is nearby. The town is a conservation area. Its Georgian frontages hide some older timber-framed buildings, and the church of St Nicholas sits on an island in the middle of the High Street.
Post-war and newer housing has been added on the town's edges. The town is popular with buyers seeking a historic market town close to Telford. Lilleshall Hall and the National Sports Centre are nearby. Older homes may have damp issues. Expect brick in most homes, with some sandstone in older buildings. Church Aston and Edgmond are popular villages nearby. Many older homes have solid walls prone to damp, and some have cellars. Newer estates on the town's edges bring the usual snagging questions, and some homes near the university are let to students.
