Large plot, garage and multi-room living close to coastal walks.
Detached four-bedroom family home with distant sea views
A substantial detached family house in Barry’s West End, offered chain free and ready for a new owner to upgrade. The property delivers four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room, plus a useful hobby/storage room that opens onto the rear garden. Several principal rooms enjoy distant sea views over the Bristol Channel.
The plot is above average for the area, with a wide driveway providing off-street parking for multiple cars and a single garage/store to the side. The fully enclosed rear garden is private and laid to lawn with paved patio areas and established shrubbery. Original features such as parquet floors and a marble-surround chimney breast remain, offering character to retain or enhance.
The house requires renovation throughout and will suit buyers prepared to invest: cosmetic updating, kitchen modernisation and potential reconfiguration would release significant value. There is scope to extend (subject to planning) given the large frontage and side/garage space. Practical points: the property is leasehold with over 800 years remaining and the EPC rating is D.
Notable drawbacks are a single family shower room and one WC at ground floor level, an indicated need for general refurbishment, and a relatively high council tax band. The surrounding area is described as having higher deprivation metrics despite the desirable West End location close to Marine Drive and coastal walks.
