A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a handsome Victorian building, walking distance from Barry town centre and local attractions. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining layout makes efficient use of the 409 sq ft, with high ceilings and a bay window bringing in natural light. Fitted kitchen appliances, a modern bathroom and UPVC double glazing are already in place for low immediate maintenance.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 106 years remaining and an average service charge of about £2,160 pa (circa £540 quarterly). Heating is electric via a boiler and radiators; walls are solid brick with no added insulation (assumed), and the EPC is rated E. On-street parking is available to the front and residents have access to a rear communal garden.
Location is a key strength — excellent local shops, cafés, Porthkerry Park and Barry Island are all nearby, with good public transport and road links into Cardiff and the M4 corridor. Schools are within close proximity, making the flat suitable for a single occupant or couple seeking convenience and low-footprint living.
Buyers should note material considerations: the area records very high crime rates and is classed as very deprived locally, which will affect resale and rental prospects. The flat is small and best suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors comfortable with a compact, city-centre property. Service charges and the leasehold tenure are important ongoing costs to factor into affordability calculations.
