A characterful two-bedroom apartment sits within a landmark stone building on Lloyd George Avenue, a short walk from Cardiff city centre, Mermaid Quay and local transport. The open-plan living area receives good natural light and the second bedroom benefits from a small balcony overlooking the communal courtyard. Allocated gated parking and visitor bays are a practical perk for city living.
Practical details make this a straightforward purchase: the lease is extremely long (978 years) and the property is offered chain-free. The building has been converted to a modern apartment while retaining period stonework, creating a mix of character and contemporary finishes. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and streaming.
Be clear about ongoing costs and limitations. Service charges are approximately £2,300 per year with a small ground rent of £150, and council tax is above average. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters and the external walls are sandstone/limestone with assumed no insulation, which may result in higher running costs and potential improvement work if you want better thermal performance.
The immediate area is an urban, cosmopolitan mix with strong student presence and many amenities — ideal if you want central convenience and a lively neighbourhood. However, crime levels are high and the wider location is assessed as very deprived; these factors are important for buyers to weigh, particularly if resale or lettability is a priority. Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking central, characterful city living who is prepared to budget for running costs and possible improvement works.
