Summary - 12, Heol Gwendoline CF62 5AN
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal starter home with parking and long lease, close to shops and transport..
Allocated off-street parking bay included
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers practical, low-maintenance living in a modern block close to Barry waterfront. The layout is compact and efficient: a living/dining room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward accommodation with immediate access to local shops and transport.
Key benefits include an allocated off-street parking bay, UPVC double glazing, a very long lease of approximately 974 years and no flood risk. The property is heated by electric storage heaters and runs on mains electricity, so bills should be considered by energy-conscious buyers. The apartment is about 622 sqft and sits in a mid-terrace block built c.1996–2002.
Buyers should note the material costs: an annual service charge of about £1,800 (including building insurance) and ground rent of approximately £105 per year. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters rather than gas, which may mean higher running costs. The area scores as very deprived with a higher local crime rate than average; check local data and factor safety and resale prospects into your decision.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located starter home or rental opportunity for someone who values proximity to the waterfront, allocated parking and a very long lease, while accepting the trade-offs of electric heating and ongoing service charges.
