Summary - 27 CHULMLEIGH CLOSE CARDIFF CF3 4BL
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Large two-bedroom with long lease and low service charge.
Chain-free first-floor flat in quiet cul-de-sac
A rare, chain-free first-floor flat tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in Rumney, offering an unusually large floor area for a two-bedroom property. The long 999-year lease and below-average service charge (£786) make this a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer seeking space and low immediate holding costs.
The flat sits within a mid-century block with communal gardens and easy walking access to local shops and bus stops. Transport links to the A48 and M4 are strong, and mobile and broadband connectivity are excellent — practical for commuting or working from home. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but the install date is unknown.
Internally the accommodation feels dated in places: the kitchen retains 1970s fittings and linoleum flooring and will benefit from modernisation. Walls are cavity as-built with no confirmed insulation, so buyers should budget for energy improvements. The property has one bathroom and two bedrooms on the first floor, and although the quoted overall size is very large (approx. 2,069 sq ft), room proportions are described as small to medium with standard ceiling heights.
Buyers should note the area scores as very deprived with above-average local crime rates. These are material factors for mortgage lenders, insurance and future resale. For a buyer focused on space, long lease security and simple onward purchase, this flat offers solid potential once modernised; for those prioritising immediate move-in condition or quiet, low-crime neighbourhoods, further consideration is advised.
