Situated on the top floor of the David Morgan Apartments in the heart of Cardiff, this spacious one-bedroom apartment combines open-plan living with a large private balcony and sweeping city skyline views. Skylight windows and exposed beams bring character and natural light to a generous 892 sq ft layout, making the space feel larger than typical city flats. The bedroom sits quietly to the rear and includes a walk-in wardrobe, while modern finishes and double glazing keep the interior low-maintenance.
Financially this property will appeal to buy-to-let investors and city professionals seeking a central, chain-free purchase. The home benefits from electric underfloor heating and integrated kitchen appliances, reducing immediate refurbishment needs. The apartment is well placed for transport links, nightlife, retail and cultural amenities, promising strong rental demand in Cardiff city centre’s busy market.
Buyers should note important lease and running-cost considerations: 83 years remain on the lease, which will require prompt attention and potential extension; annual service charges average about £3,000 and there is an annual ground rent of £75. The local area records high crime levels and significant deprivation statistics—factors that can influence insurance, tenant demand and valuation. Council tax is above average and main fuel is electricity, which may affect ongoing bills.
Overall this is a bold city-centre opportunity: a large, bright top-floor apartment with a standout balcony and ready-to-rent specification, but one that needs lease renewal and has notable service-charge and local-area factors to weigh. Prospective buyers and investors should arrange a full lease review and survey before committing.
