This bright two-double-bedroom duplex maisonette sits on the second/third floor of a mid-20th-century block, with a balcony that offers pleasant glimpses toward the Channel, Flat Holm and Steep Holm. The layout gives a clear separation between living and sleeping areas: an open-plan lounge/diner with balcony, fitted kitchen, two good double bedrooms and a compact family bathroom. The accommodation totals about 778 sq ft, a comfortable size for downsizers or professional couples.
Practical ownership includes a share of freehold with a very long lease (979 years stated) and no ground rent. Communal gardens are well maintained and there is off-street parking plus a lockable storage shed. Heating is via mains gas boiler and radiators, and the windows are uPVC double glazed—features that support everyday comfort and ease of management.
Notable costs and constraints are factual and important: an annual service charge of around £1,800 covers buildings insurance, communal cleaning, lighting and garden upkeep. Pets are not permitted. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has cavity walls with no added insulation assumed, so there may be scope (and cost) for thermal upgrades. The bathroom is compact and the broadband is average, which may matter for heavy home-workers.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance home in a tree-lined location close to Penarth town centre and the seafront. It will suit a buyer seeking easy communal living with sea views and straightforward running costs, while accepting some improvement potential around energy performance and bathroom space.
