Supporting the regeneration of a listed building in Barry Island

How we helped

Principality Commercial has provided funding of £500,000 to support a local developer in the re-development of one of Barry Island's most recognisable listed structures. 

Known for the  successful regeneration of Oyster Wharf in Swansea, James Morse of Nextcolour Ltd. saw the potential of this unique structure. 

The Grade II listed former toilet block, built in 1923, a landmark building in Barry Island, has long stood empty. The team intends to retain heritage features, ensuring the building’s Grade II status is respected and its original character is celebrated as part of its renewed purpose.

More about this project

An important piece of local regeneration, the plan is to transform the disused toilet block into a vibrant new hospitality venue and a viable commercial asset.

The re-developed site will house two commercial units: a restaurant, part of the successful Loungers group, and a welcoming new coffee shop. The new restaurant and coffee shop will create local jobs and bring visitors to the area.

CEO of Nell’s Point Limited, James Morse said:

"Along with assistance from the Vale of Glamorgan Council, Principality has been fundamental in helping restore this unique Grade II listed building . We look forward to opening Nell's Point restaurants this summer".

Kirsty Morgan, Assistant Portfolio Manager at Principality Commercial said:

“We look forward to seeing the finished result and celebrating this fantastic example of heritage preservation and strong commercial investment in South Wales”.
