A traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace on St. Oswalds Road offering generous room proportions and practical living space. The property has two reception rooms, a useful utility and a well-sized bathroom — all arranged across an 855 sq ft footprint that suits a first home or young family.
Highlights include a Victorian bay-front façade, double-glazed windows (install date unknown), mains gas central heating and freehold tenure. Rear outlooks and elevated views give a pleasant sense of space beyond the street, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support homeworking and connectivity.
Be candid about ongoing upkeep: the wall construction dates from c.1900–1929 and appears uninsulated, so additional insulation and energy-efficiency improvements are likely needed. The area shows higher local crime and significant deprivation indicators, and the small front/plot size limits outdoor space. Street parking only. These factors have been reflected in the price, making the home appealing to first-time buyers or investors prepared to modernise.
Overall, this is a solid first-step purchase with scope to add value through insulation, cosmetic updating and sensible repairs. For buyers prioritising space, connectivity and proximity to schools and parks, it represents a practical, affordable option in Barry.
