A compact, modern one-bedroom apartment with direct water views and an allocated parking space, priced for an affordable first home or buy-to-let starter. The long lease (989 years) and low council tax band B keep ongoing costs modest, while the open-plan living area and balcony maximise the small 366 sq ft footprint. Communal entrance and maintained grounds provide a low-maintenance feel.
The location is a practical draw: short walks to local shops, train station, coastal walks and Barry Island beaches, with quick access to link roads toward the M4. Good mobile signal and fast broadband suit remote working or streaming. The apartment is gas-heated via a boiler and radiators and benefits from modern finishes and large windows that deliver natural light.
Buyers should note the wider neighbourhood context: the area records very high crime and significant deprivation — factors that may affect resale and rental demand. The property is leasehold with a small ground rent of £150 and potential additional leasehold/service fees or admin costs for searches and packs. The accommodation is small and will suit single occupants or couples rather than families.
This is a pragmatic, entry-level purchase with clear strengths (views, parking, long lease) and straightforward compromises (size, local area challenges). Prospective buyers are advised to arrange independent surveys and to check service arrangements, communal charges and any lease documentation before committing.
