Practical family home with garden and parking potential in Barry.
Three generous-sized bedrooms and two versatile reception rooms
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Shakespeare Road offers generous living space across two reception rooms and a decent rear garden, well suited to growing families or first-time buyers. The layout is practical: a living room, separate dining room, kitchen with utility area and a shower room serving three bedrooms. The exterior is well maintained and presents good curb appeal.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband, mains gas heating and a driveway with scope for reconfiguration to add parking. The plot is a usable size for family gardening and outdoor play. Internal room sizes are comfortable for this property type, making it straightforward to move into or update incrementally.
Important considerations are factual and should guide viewing decisions. The area scores high for deprivation and records above-average crime rates; prospective buyers should research neighbourhood safety and services. The house dates from 1930–1949 and has cavity walls that likely lack insulation, so buyers should budget for possible thermal upgrades. There is only one shower room for three bedrooms, and some modest cosmetic or maintenance work is likely in places (garden wall and external brickwork noted).
Overall, the property represents an accessible mid-sized family home with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise interiors. It will suit purchasers seeking value in Barry who are comfortable investing modestly in upgrades and who prioritise proximity to local schools, parks and everyday amenities.
