This 12th-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Admiral House offers spacious modern living with panoramic Cardiff city views. The open-plan lounge/kitchen, integrated appliances and master en-suite create a comfortable, low-maintenance home suited to professionals, students or buy-to-let investors.
Practical strengths include an underground allocated parking space, lift access, 24-hour concierge and a long lease (142 years). At about 726 sq ft the layout comfortably fits two double bedrooms and separate bathroom facilities, adding flexibility for sharers or short-term lets.
Buyers should note material cost considerations: the property uses electric room heaters (no central gas), which can increase running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The service charge (£3,595 pa) and ground rent (£300 pa) are ongoing costs to factor into yield or affordability calculations. The local area is identified as very deprived with very high crime statistics — important for tenants, insurance and resale planning.
Overall this is a well-positioned, modern apartment close to Cardiff University and transport links. It suits investors seeking a city-centre let or first-time buyers wanting a secure, low-upkeep flat — provided they factor in service charges, electric heating costs and local area considerations.
