Set across the first and second floors of a Victorian mid-terrace in Pontcanna, this duplex apartment combines high ceilings and period stone façade with practical city living. The accommodation provides three bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchen that opens directly to a private garden—an uncommon city-centre benefit.
The location is a strong selling point: close to public transport, artisan shops, walking and cycling routes, and local schools. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as fast and excellent, making the home suitable for remote working and everyday family life.
There are some material points to note. The building dates from before 1900 and walls are assumed to lack insulation; double glazing installation date is unknown. The kitchen and some finishes appear in moderate condition and will suit buyers who want to update or personalise. The area scores as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale performance in parts, though crime is low and the setting remains popular with cosmopolitan and student communities.
Overall this share-of-freehold duplex will suit first-time buyers seeking character with outdoor space, small families wanting nearby schools and transport, or investors targeting strong local rental demand. It offers immediate liveability with scope for economical improvements to increase comfort and value.
