This bright second-floor apartment at Bayscape offers an attractive entry into Cardiff Bay living. The open-plan living space opens onto a balcony with marina views, and the principal bedroom benefits from floor-to-ceiling glazing and built-in wardrobes. The finish is modern throughout and the large bathroom includes both bath and walk-in shower.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (994 years), secure off-street parking, lift access directly to the door, 24-hour manned marina and fast broadband — useful for working from home. The development sits minutes from Mermaid Quay, transport links and leisure facilities, making it convenient for commuting and weekend social life.
Material considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge around £2,118 and a small ground rent of £174. Heating is via a community scheme, which can affect running costs and control. The local area records high deprivation levels despite low crime, so buyers should factor in wider neighbourhood variability when considering resale or rental prospects.
This is a sensible choice for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a contemporary, low-maintenance apartment in a well-served waterside location. Chain-free sale and an option to purchase the freehold increase flexibility, but budget for the service charge and review the community heating arrangements before committing.
