To move to Newport South Wales?

Thinking about moving here to be closer to family. Was considering 30/40 miles to the South or East of Bristol, but realising that you can get a lot more for your money in Wales.

I’d appreciate some opinions and where to consider/where to avoid. Budget around 250k, theee beds and a garden. Approaching retirement.

Thanks.

Chepstow would be nicer

Will you be working in Bristol? A lot of people priced out of Bristol opt for Newport but the traffic can be heavy on M4 westbound at rush hour. However you get a lot more for your money. 280k for a 3 bed.
I cannot believe the size of this garden.
