We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Situated in the highly sought-after Lakeside area of Barry, within walking distance of the beach, Romley Park, the High Street and the train station, lies this fully renovated three-bedroom semi-detached period property.
Fully renovated by the current owners, the property offers well-presented accommodation throughout and benefits from a generous-sized garden plot with ample parking and landscaped gardens.
Previous planning permission was sought and approved to create a two-storey side extension, offering additional living and bedroom accommodation.
Although this planning application has lapsed, potential for extension remains.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance porch with tiled flooring throughout and a glazed stained glass door leading into the entrance hall.
The hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor, has porcelain tiled flooring throughout. It offers access into the living accommodation.
The open-plan lounge/dining room has a bay window plus a feature picture window to the front aspect, enjoying views towards the lake.
French doors at the rear of the property lead out to the enclosed garden. The room is extensively laid with original herringbone wood block flooring, with part ceramic tiling.
The kitchen, with French doors flanked by windows giving access and views into the rear garden, offers a fitted range of high-gloss white base, larder and wall-mounted units with complementing wood-effect work surfaces, with a perspex splashback above.

Finally, off the entrance hall is a ground-floor shower room/WC housing a white three-piece suite, including a fully tiled double shower enclosure.
The first-floor landing, with stained-glass window to the side, has a loft inspection point and gives access to the bedroom accommodation.
Bedrooms one and two are both comfortable double bedrooms located at the front of the property, with views towards the sea.

The room has full tiling to both floor and walls. Outside: To the front of the property is ample off-road parking space for several vehicles on the enclosed driveway.
To the front of the house is a lawned forecourt. To the rear is an enclosed landscaped garden, which offers lawned areas and paved patio/entertainment spaces.
