Characterful, newly renovated one-bedroom in prestigious Pontcanna, moments from parks and cafés.
Newly renovated one-bedroom, approx. 445 sq ft, move-in ready
A beautifully renovated one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Pontcanna, finished to a high specification and ready to move into. The conversion retains Victorian character—high ceilings, bay-window light and period cornicing—while delivering modern comforts such as bespoke Symphony kitchens, designer bathrooms and full-fibre broadband. The apartment is one of seven in an exclusive development on Cathedral Road, offering a compact, well-planned home for a first-time buyer, professional or investor.
Practical strengths include a long 150-year lease with share of freehold on completion, an EPC grade C, comprehensive fire safety (sprinklers, alarms) and a full 10-year structural warranty. Interior finishes are high-spec: fitted wardrobes, quality tiling, smart fixtures and integrated appliances. Outdoor life is attractive — Pontcanna Fields and Sophia Gardens are within easy walking distance, alongside cafes, restaurants and independent shops that give this neighbourhood strong lifestyle appeal.
Buyers should note a few material points: the flat is modest in size (around 445 sq ft) so best suits a single occupant or couple; the surrounding area records higher crime and local area deprivation levels, which may interest renters differently; and marketing information references both “fully electric operation” and mains gas boiler/heating—this should be clarified before exchange. Council tax banding and some service/management details are not specified here and should be confirmed.
Overall this is a ready-to-live, characterful apartment in one of Cardiff’s most sought-after streets. It offers a blend of period charm and turnkey modern fittings, appealing to buyers seeking a city-base close to green space and vibrant local amenities, while presenting clear points to check during due diligence.
