A compact one-bedroom first-floor apartment in sought-after Pontcanna, offering an affordable entry into Cardiff’s desirable Kings Road postcode. Set within a converted Victorian terrace, the flat combines period charm—high ceilings and a bay-windowed lounge—with practical modern comforts including double glazing, gas central heating and a well-fitted bathroom.
The kitchen/diner opens onto a peaceful communal garden, a rare outdoor space for this location. At 432 sq ft the layout suits a single professional or couple seeking a low-maintenance home close to independent cafés, green spaces and excellent transport links into the city centre. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with 100 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £200 and average service/maintenance charges of around £1,200. The kitchen shows contemporary-rustic fittings but would benefit from updating to maximise long-term value. The wider area is classified as very deprived and local crime rates are above average — factors to consider for long-term investment or resale timing.
This apartment is best for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a characterful, centrally located one-bed with garden access and clear scope to add value through sensitive modernisation.
