A compact three-bedroom mid-terrace in Penarth offering open-plan living and a large conservatory that brings light into the rear of the home. The living/dining space flows well for everyday family life and socialising, and the generous rear garden has scope for landscaping or play space. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working or streaming, while local supermarkets, Cogan station and schools are within easy reach.
The property is leasehold with only 39 years remaining — a material issue for many buyers and mortgage lenders. Buyers should expect additional costs for lease extension and possible mortgage refusal without one. The house is chain-free, which can speed a sale, but the lease position and the need for maintenance in the garden and some rooms mean realistic budgeting for immediate works.
Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing, on-street parking and a mid-20th-century character façade. The area is popular with families and benefits from close access to Penarth marina, parks and transport links to Cardiff. Note the neighbourhood records above-average crime and high local deprivation; prospective buyers should consider local services and safety measures.
This home suits first-time buyers or families seeking an affordable entry into Penarth with clear potential to add value through a lease extension and smart renovation. Proceed with a lender check and a survey to assess costs for lease, any insulation upgrades, and garden maintenance before committing.
