Extensive communal facilities including dining room and 24-hour manager
Guest suite available for visitors (chargeable)
Battery car store with charging points (limited availability)
Service charge £9,352.29 pa; ground rent £410 pa — significant ongoing costs
Leasehold with ~103 years remaining; council tax band above average
Area shows very high crime and high deprivation — important buyer consideration
Comfort and community are central to this well-presented second-floor retirement apartment overlooking the communal gardens and patio. Designed for ease of living, the layout offers two bedrooms, a roomy lounge with garden views, and a compact, functional kitchen. Lift access and a level location put local shops, Venue Cymru and medical services within half a mile.
The development provides extensive communal facilities aimed at independent retirement living: a residents’ dining room (lunch service), communal lounge with sea glimpses, guest suite (chargeable), laundry, function room, battery car recharging store (limited spaces) and a 24-hour manager’s office. On-site support and social spaces suit buyers seeking convenience and companionship.
Material costs and tenure details are important considerations. The property is leasehold with approximately 103 years remaining, a ground rent of £410 pa and an annual service charge of £9,352.29 (up to 31/08/2025). Heating is by electric storage heaters; the apartment has double glazing and modern fittings but the service charge is high and parking is on a first-come basis.
Location strengths — close to Craig y Don and town centre amenities — sit alongside notable area challenges: very high local crime levels and high deprivation indicators. This apartment will appeal to downsizers who prioritise communal support, nearby services and garden-facing accommodation, and who can accommodate the substantial service charge and leasehold costs.
