Set within a well-kept retirement complex on Ty Gwyn Road, this one-bedroom, south-facing apartment offers manageable, light-filled living for over-55s. At 529 sq ft the layout is traditional with a separate lounge, dining area and a modern fitted kitchen — practical for single occupants or couples seeking low-maintenance accommodation. Lift access, resident off-street parking and attractive communal gardens give everyday convenience and a pleasant outlook over greenery.
The flat benefits from a long lease (approximately 963 years remaining) and share of freehold, removing immediate lease-length concerns. Finished with double glazing and contemporary kitchen fittings, it will suit buyers who want a ready-to-live-in home. Local amenities on Wellfield Road, Roath Park nearby and good bus links make the location convenient for shopping and leisure.
Important practical points: heating is by individual electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the service charge is relatively high at about £2,988.84 per year — factor this into ongoing running costs. Buyers must meet the age requirement (minimum 55) and pass the managing agents’ applicant interview. The surrounding area scores high for deprivation indices, which may affect local services and perceptions.
