Set on the first floor of a modern Barry Waterfront block, this one-bedroom flat is offered in good condition and ready to move into. The living room opens onto a wraparound balcony with side dock views, bringing light and a sense of space to an average-sized 452 sq ft layout. The double bedroom, modern kitchen and larger shower room provide comfortable daily living for a first-time buyer or downsizer.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, full double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—useful for remote working or streaming. The property has a very long lease (977 years), low ground rent (£44) and an average service charge of around £1,800 per year; council tax is described as affordable. Heating is electric (storage and room heaters), so running costs should be considered alongside the asking price of £120,000.
The location is a strong selling point. Goodsheds, The Pumphouse and the Waterfront Retail Park are within easy walking distance, offering independent shops, eateries and leisure options. Barry Docks station provides regular services to Cardiff Central, making commuting straightforward. There is no flood risk recorded for the property.
A frank note on the wider context: the immediate area is classified as very deprived and described as ageing industrial/urban communities, which may affect local amenities and long-term resale considerations. Overall, this flat suits buyers seeking an affordable entry into waterside living, investors after a commuter-let, or downsizers wanting low-maintenance accommodation with good transport links.
