A compact, chain-free two-bedroom flat with sea views from the rear window, set in Barry West End close to the high street, parks and transport links. The layout suits first-time buyers seeking a manageable home within walking distance of shops, cafes, train and bus services, with quick access to the M4 corridor.
Practical details to note: the property is leasehold with 82 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £1,920 and a £100 ground rent. The mid‑1970s block has cavity walls likely without added insulation and standard double glazing; some upgrades to heating, insulation or electrics may be needed over time.
Internally the flat offers two double bedrooms, a living room with water views, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom with skylight. The total internal area is small (approx. 614 sqft), so storage and living space are compact but functional. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, helpful for modern working from home.
Important negatives are stated clearly: the on-site garage is currently not usable, the local area records above-average crime and very high area deprivation, and the relatively short lease may affect mortgage options and future resale. These constraints are balanced by the property’s location, sea outlook and chain-free status, making it a candidate for buyers prioritising location and immediate move-in over long-term renovation projects.
