Description

This property is for sale by Modern Method of Auction powered by iamsold LTD - Starting Bid £150,000 plus Reservation Fee.

Number One Agent, Harrison Cole is delighted to offer this unique development opportunity for sale in Newport.

This unique piece of Newport history is available to purchase, with incredible potential to be renovated or adapted for modern living. The original layout of the building is as follows; The main entrance on Victoria Avenue leads into a spacious entrance hall with a central Pay Box, where tickets used to be issued for admission, both for swimmers and spectators. There is a short, wide staircase to the dressing halls on the lower ground floor, whilst spectators would proceed to the main staircase to the Upper Hall on the first floor.

The upper hall gave access to Café and balcony and thence to the Gala Stands. Adjoining the hall, the Slipper Baths Suite is placed in a comfortable Club room for the use of Swimming Clubs provided. A feature of the design is that spectators approaching their seats obtain a clear and uninterrupted view of all pool activities without the necessity of walking along the poolside.

The main pool was 100 feet long by 42 feet wide, having a maximum depth of 10 feet. The bath floor gradually rises from this point to a depth of 4 feet at the shallow end and 8 feet at the deep end. The diving stage had diving boards at heights of five metres, three, and one metre above water level. Comfortable seating accommodated for 428 spectators was provided on the Gala Stands, whilst an additional 300 people were accommodated with chair seating around the balcony and a further 300 standing.

Separate Dressing Halls were planned on the lower ground floor under the Gala Stands, with short staircases leading directly to the poolside.

Across the Albert Avenue end of the site is a smaller pool which was 60 feet long by 25 feet wide, having a maximum depth of four feet.

The construction of the building included the use of fire-resisting, reinforced concrete. All the windows were of steel and were operated by hand and electric opening gear. A special coloured cement was used for both the external and internal walls and ceiling finishes of the whole building.

The doors of Maindee Baths were firmly closed on December 23, 2005, and the pool, which gave so much fun for thousands of swimmers has now been drained.
