Summary - 40 LECKWITH ROAD CARDIFF CF11 6HN
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact city flat with outdoor space and long lease, suited to first-time buyers.
Private enclosed garden, rare for a ground-floor flat
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Leckwith Road offers straightforward city living with the rare benefit of a private garden. The layout flows from an entrance hall to a bright kitchen/diner, then to a lounge with a bay window and a double bedroom — compact, well-proportioned rooms finished in a neutral, contemporary style.
Practical strengths include double glazing, mains gas central heating, a long lease (102 years remaining) and low annual ground rent of £25. The property also benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and close access to shops, cafes and public transport — ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a city-centre location.
Important drawbacks are straightforward and should be considered: the building dates from before 1900 with traditional stone walls likely without modern insulation, resulting in an EPC rating of D. The local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels. There is an annual building insurance/service charge of about £400 paid to the freeholder, and the flat is leasehold, so buyers should check management arrangements and future costs.
Overall, this apartment is a practical, affordable entry into Cardiff’s rental and owner-occupier market — attractive for someone wanting a small home with outdoor space and decent transport links, but best approached with a survey and careful attention to ongoing costs and energy efficiency improvements.
