Chain-free Victorian terrace near beaches and rail — ideal first-time buy.
No onward chain — ready to move into
A welcoming, chain-free Victorian mid-terrace on Phyllis Street, a short walk from Barry Island’s beaches, cafes and the rail station. The house has been well maintained and is presented ready to move into, with a bright open-plan lounge/diner, a contemporary fitted kitchen and an impressive four-piece ground-floor bathroom. The southerly enclosed rear garden is low-maintenance with patio and slate chippings.
Practical strengths include three bedrooms, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, freehold tenure and a cheap council tax band — all attractive for a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a seaside home. The property also sits within local school catchment and has excellent mobile and broadband connectivity.
Notable facts to consider: the building is a period solid-brick terrace (circa 1900–1929) and walls are assumed to lack built-in insulation, which may affect running costs despite the EPC D (67). The plot is small and the home is in a very deprived area by some measures, which may concern buyers focused on long-term capital growth. There is no flood risk and crime levels are reported low.
Overall this is a tidy, move-in-ready family or first-home opportunity in a coastal location — strong on presentation and local conveniences, with typical period-house considerations around wall insulation, plot size and wider area socio-economic factors.
