Summary - 9 Windsor Court, Windsor Road, BARRY CF62 7AP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Victorian one-bed with high ceilings, gym, laundry and station a minute away.
Large first-floor one-bedroom with high-ceiling bay window
Set on the first floor of a converted period building, this large one-bedroom apartment pairs Victorian character with modern fittings. The living/dining room benefits from an original bay window and high ceilings, creating a bright, spacious feel uncommon for one-bed homes. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and flows from the main living space, useful for lifestyle or rental layouts. Communal amenities include a gym, laundry room, secure entry, CCTV and optional gated parking (additional charge).
Practical running costs are straightforward but notable: electric heating throughout and a service charge of approximately £2,076 per year (including ground rent and insurance). The property is share of freehold but the lease has only about 81 years remaining — a material issue that will require lease extension and legal advice before mortgage or sale completion. Walls are likely solid brick with no added insulation, so heating costs and retrofit work should be considered.
The apartment is chain-free and positioned close to Barry train station with fast links to Cardiff, making it appealing to commuters or buy-to-let buyers seeking easy transport connections. Local amenities are abundant, though the wider area records higher deprivation indices; buyers should balance strong transport and town-centre convenience against local socio-economic factors.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located one-bedroom that suits a first-time buyer or investor prepared to manage the short lease and electric-heating running costs. A lease extension and potential insulation improvements would protect value and broaden mortgage options.
