A traditional three-bedroom Victorian terrace in central Barry, offered chain-free and ready for a first home or rental purchase. The property has bright, well-proportioned rooms, a practical layout with open-plan living/dining, and an enclosed rear garden—useful for small families or tenants. Good transport links, nearby shops, schools and quick access to link roads make everyday life straightforward.
The house benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing and a standard but comfortable fit-out; its footprint (approx. 862 sq ft) suits a growing household or buy-to-let layout. On-street parking and a small garden add practical value, while the mid-terrace stone facade retains period character that can be enhanced with modest cosmetic updates.
Important considerations: the property sits in an area of high deprivation with very high local crime rates, and the original stone walls are likely uninsulated which may affect energy efficiency. There is one bathroom only, and on-street parking is the only provision. Prospective buyers should arrange a survey and factor potential insulation or refurbishment costs into their budget. No chain simplifies a quick move or lettings setup.
