This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers a practical, well-presented living space in a sought-after CF5 location close to public transport links and reputable schools. The bright reception room, tidy kitchen and communal gardens suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance home with good connectivity and fast broadband.
The apartment is compact (circa 517 sq ft) and sits in a 1960s semi-detached, system-built block with external insulation. Service charge (£75pcm) and ground rent (£10pcm) are modest and the lease has around 89 years remaining, but buyers should budget for future lease management costs and standard block maintenance.
There are a few material points to note: the wider area has high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which will influence resale and rental demand for some purchasers. The building’s construction era and concrete walkways mean there can be higher ongoing repair and communal upkeep needs; glazing and heating are in place (double glazing, mains gas boiler) but install dates are unknown and no service tests have been provided.
Overall, this flat is a pragmatic option for someone seeking an affordable entry into Cardiff’s property market or an investor looking for a compact unit near good transport and schools. A buyer looking for long-term certainty should commission a survey and consider lease extension costs and any block refurbishment plans before proceeding.
