Summary - 255, Albany Road CF24 3NW
2 bed 1 bath Duplex
Stylish two-bedroom turnkey home close to local shops and parks.
Top-floor duplex with high ceilings and bay window
This top-floor duplex on Albany Road is a recently renovated, turnkey two-double-bedroom home arranged over the top two floors of a period terrace. High ceilings and a large bay window give the open-plan living and kitchen area a bright, airy feel, while contemporary fittings and herringbone-style flooring create a modern finish with period character.
Practical ownership benefits include a share of the freehold and a very long lease (circa 979 years remaining). The property is compact at about 592 ft², so it suits buyers who prioritise location and finish over large internal space — ideal for first-time purchasers or those seeking a low-maintenance city base.
Important points to check: there is no private garden visible and outside storage is via a communal area accessed from the rear lane. Service costs and any major maintenance are reportedly split between four owners rather than a fixed service charge, so prospective buyers should confirm arrangements and liabilities with their solicitor. The property sits in an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with good transport, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, but the wider area is classified as very deprived with average crime levels.
For buyers seeking a stylish, ready-to-move-in city apartment close to Albany Road and Roath Park, this duplex offers strong presentation and convenient amenities. It also has rental potential — an estimated market rent has been suggested — making it a practical buy for both occupiers and investors, provided you are comfortable with compact living and communal ownership details.
