This compact two-bedroom apartment sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Pentwyn and offers a straightforward, low-hassle home for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let purchaser. The property benefits from a very long lease (951 years/share of freehold), a private garage, off-road parking and a small balcony with outward views—practical features that are uncommon at this price point.
Inside, the layout is traditional and efficient: entrance hall, lounge/dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a single bathroom within about 520 sq ft. The gas boiler and radiators provide mains gas central heating, and the apartment has double glazing; the EPC is C (72), so running costs are reasonable and the home is move-in ready without major works expected.
There are some important practical considerations. Annual service charges amount to around £2,600 (paid as £1,300 half-yearly) which covers buildings insurance, communal maintenance and grounds. The property is in an area classed as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and local amenities. The size is small and there’s only one bathroom—buyers needing more space or family accommodation should note these limits.
Overall, this is a sensible buy for someone seeking an affordable entry into Cardiff’s property market or an investor wanting a low-management apartment with secure parking and a very long lease. Low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to the practical appeal, while communal gardens and a garage provide extra convenience.
