Set on the first floor of a contemporary build in Cathays, this one-bedroom flat offers compact, low-maintenance city living with strong rental appeal. Large windows flood the main living area with light and the fitted kitchen includes integrated hob and oven; mains gas central heating and double glazing are already in place.
The property is offered as a 1/3 share of the freehold with approximately 987 years remaining on the lease. Buildings insurance is currently around £300 and additional leasehold pack fees may apply — buyers should factor these running costs into any purchase decision.
Positioned within a popular student and rental neighbourhood, the flat suits investors or buyers seeking easy access to local amenities, bus routes and fast broadband. Note the area records above-average crime and is classified as very deprived, which affects long-term capital-growth expectations; the compact layout and communal entrance also limit privacy and outdoor space.
Overall this is a practical, contemporary one-bedroom suited to buy-to-let or a first-step on the property ladder for someone prioritising location, low upkeep and strong tenant demand, provided you are comfortable with leasehold ownership and the neighbourhood profile.
