New build homes for sale in Barry

Best known for Barry Island, the vibrant seafront area beloved by locals and tourists alike. Once a true island, it was connected to the mainland in the 1880s, and now hosts traditional seaside stalls and eateries, amusement arcades and the Pleasure Park.

You'll have the pick of the beaches and entertainment. Pebble Beach and Watchtower Bay are quieter beaches, while Knap Gardens and the Marine Lake provide a lovely setting to walk, feed the ducks and enjoy the stunning views. From your new house you can enjoy walks to Friar's Point with its panoramic views, or head to the gardens, tennis courts and play areas of Romilly Park much beloved by families. There are many more coastal delights from the bustling marina at Penarth to the beautiful beaches of Porthcawl.

There’s a wide range of shops and services to be found, with two main shopping areas, Mermaid Quay and King’s Square, hosting high street shops and banks.
