Bay-front lounge with attractive street views
A bright, bay-front first-floor apartment tucked on Kings Road in Pontcanna, offering classic period appeal with contemporary comfort. The lounge’s elegant bay window captures pleasant street views while the modern open-plan kitchen leads directly to a peaceful communal garden — a rare outdoor amenity for this location. At about 432 sq ft, the layout suits a single buyer or couple seeking a compact, characterful home close to cafés, boutiques and parks.
Practical features include double glazing, mains gas central heating with a combi boiler, and a refreshed bathroom with both bath and shower. Connectivity is strong with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and the city centre and transport links are within easy reach — useful for commuters or investors targeting rental demand in Pontcanna.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with 100 years remaining on a 125-year lease from 2005. Annual costs include an approximate £1,200 service charge and £200 ground rent. The property is small at 432 sq ft, and the surrounding area records above-average crime and high local deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term resale or rental outlooks for some buyers.
Overall, this one-bedroom conversion blends period character and contemporary fittings in a sought-after Pontcanna address. It represents an entry-level purchase for owner-occupiers or a compact investment proposition, provided buyers are comfortable with the leasehold costs and local area considerations. Independent survey and legal advice are recommended.
