Set within an iconic Grade II listed 1850s building, this ground-floor duplex combines period character with contemporary finishes. High sash windows, high ceilings and oak flooring create an airy feel, while a high-spec German kitchen with integrated BOSCH appliances makes daily living effortless.
The layout works well for a first-time buyer, pied-à-terre or investor: a generous bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a modern luxury shower room, and a bright mezzanine study area linked by a distinctive glass stairway to the open-plan living space. Secure video entry and on-site bicycle storage add practical convenience.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold property with a long lease (243 years remaining), an average service charge of £2,316 pa and a small ground rent of £190 pa. The Grade II listed status preserves historic features but may make external alterations more difficult and could affect some refurbishment options.
Practical considerations: heating is electric panel/room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the surrounding area records very high crime and significant deprivation indices—factors to weigh for personal safety and long-term resale or rental demand. Broadband speed is average but mobile signal is excellent. Overall, this apartment offers a distinctive blend of heritage and modern fittings in central Cardiff Bay, best suited to buyers prioritising character and location over low running costs.
