Bright lounge/diner with bay window and river/stadium views

High-crime, very deprived local area may affect lettings and resale
Small overall plot and compact 792 sq ft footprint
Spanning the first and second floors of a converted Victorian mid-terrace, this freehold duplex offers a compact 792 sq ft layout with no onward chain. The apartment combines period features — high ceilings, bay windows, original cast-iron fireplaces — with a modern kitchen and bathroom, and benefits from excellent transport links and city-centre proximity.
Proven successful as an AirBnB, the property presents immediate income potential for short-let or rental investors. The layout currently provides two double bedrooms plus a third room used as an office/bedroom, a bright lounge/diner with river-facing bay window, and a single three-piece bathroom.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the building sits in a high-crime, very deprived area, the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. There is one bathroom for three bedrooms and the overall plot is small. These factors affect operating costs, tenant mix and refurbishment scope.
A key asset is flexibility: the building has been sub-divided into three self-contained flats and all units remain on one title — offering options to continue short-lets, rent rooms individually, or convert ownership arrangements (buyers should obtain legal and survey advice). With mains gas central heating, good mobile and broadband speeds, and walking access to Cardiff Central and local schools, the property suits investors seeking immediate yield and hands-on refurbishment opportunities.
