A Wonderful Place to Begin Your Next Chapter
Guide Price £250,000 - £260,000
Offering space, practicality and exciting potential, this charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace home presents a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers looking to take their first step onto the property ladder.
Situated in a convenient and well-connected part of Barry, the property combines comfortable living accommodation with a sunny rear garden, a useful loft space and the added benefit of a separate garage.
Forming the end home of a terrace of three properties believed to have been built during the 1980s, the house offers a little more flexibility than a typical mid-terrace, with side access and a front garden that could offer exciting potential for those considering creating off-road parking, subject to any necessary permissions and approvals.
Step inside through the entrance porch and discover a
welcoming living room, complete with a feature fireplace that creates a natural
focal point.
Laminate flooring is currently fitted, with parquet flooring understood remains
beneath, offering an attractive opportunity for buyers who may wish to
restore and showcase a more traditional finish in the future.
The living room leads through to the kitchen and dining
area, creating a practical arrangement for everyday living.
The fitted kitchen was installed in 2021 and provides an established,
functional space with scope for a new owner to personalise over time. Recently installed French doors open directly
onto the rear garden, allowing the dining area to connect with the outside
space and making it an inviting setting for relaxed meals, entertaining friends
or enjoying a sunny afternoon with the doors open.
Outside, the rear garden is a particularly appealing
feature, offering a sunny outdoor retreat to enjoy throughout the warmer
months. Whether you envisage a space for
outdoor dining, summer barbecues, gardening or simply unwinding at the end of
the day, the garden provides a lovely extension of the home's living space.
Side and rear access adds further practicality, particularly for moving garden
furniture, bicycles or other outdoor essentials.
Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms alongside a
family bathroom.
The two double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, while the third
bedroom is a smaller single room, currently used for storage. With space for a single bed, this versatile
room could make a lovely nursery, a dedicated home office, a dressing room or a
child's bedroom, depending on your needs.
For first-time buyers planning for the future, the flexibility of three
bedrooms is a real advantage.
Further useful space can be found in the loft, which is
fully boarded and benefits from electricity, making it particularly handy for
storage.
Buyers should verify its suitability for any intended use, as boarding and
electricity alone do not establish that it is suitable for conversion into
living accommodation.
A valuable additional feature is the separate garage. This provides useful space for storing tools,
bicycles, seasonal belongings or other items that may otherwise take up room
inside the home.
The property also benefits from a front garden offering potential for a future
parking solution; subject to the relevant permissions and any required
alterations.
Practical improvements include a combination boiler installed in December 2025 and recently serviced, providing reassurance for a buyer planning their move, alongside the new downstairs radiators.
Location is another appealing feature of this home. Lewis Street is ideally placed for making the most of Barry's everyday amenities, with local shops, supermarkets, cafés and other town facilities within easy reach. The nearby town centre provides further choice for shopping, dining and day-to-day essentials, helping to keep everyday life convenient without needing to travel far.
For commuters, Barry railway station is approximately 0.3 miles away, offering rail connections towards Cardiff and other destinations on the local network. Nearby bus stops provide additional travel options around Barry and the surrounding area, making the location particularly appealing for those who want to balance work, leisure and everyday commitments.
Families will appreciate the choice of schools in the
surrounding area.
Romilly Community Primary School is nearby, while High Street Primary School is
also within reach.
For families considering Welsh-medium education, Ysgol Sant Baruc and Ysgol
Sant Curig provide local primary options, with Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Morgannwg
offering Welsh-medium education through to secondary level.
St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School and Whitmore High School is another nearby
secondary option.
School catchment areas, admissions criteria and availability should be checked directly with the Vale of Glamorgan Council and the relevant schools.
The location also places Barry's wider attractions within reach, including the waterfront, leisure facilities and the popular seaside destination of Barry Island, offering opportunities for coastal walks, family days out and enjoying the best of life by the coast.
With three bedrooms and garage, useful loft storage and a
recently installed combination boiler, this home offers a compelling
combination of practicality and potential.
Its flexible layout allows buyers to move straight in and make gradual
improvements to suit their own taste, while the additional spaces offer room to
adapt as circumstances change.
Whether you are looking for your first home, a place to put down roots or a property with scope to add your own style over time, this end-of-terrace home in Barry deserves a closer look.
