Summary - Apartment 1, Sophia Mews, Sophia Close CF11 9FS
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Chain-free Victorian conversion with parking, garden and long lease — compact and low-maintenance.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, open-plan living
A bright one-bedroom ground-floor apartment set within a handsome 2021 conversion of a Victorian villa in Pontcanna. The open-plan living area benefits from large windows and contemporary finishes, creating an efficient, low‑maintenance home ideal for a first-time buyer or city professional. The flat includes an allocated undercroft parking space and a small garden — uncommon extras in this central location.
Practical running costs are straightforward: electric room heaters, an average service charge of £983.76 pa, and a long lease of 996 years remaining. The building has a remaining 10-year build warranty (valid until November 2032), providing added reassurance. Broadband and mobile signal are reported fast and excellent respectively, supporting home working.
Be clear on limitations: the apartment is compact (c. 506 sq ft) so living and storage space is modest; heating is electric room heaters rather than central gas, which may affect winter bills. The property sits within an area noted as very deprived, which may influence long-term neighbourhood trends. No flood risk is recorded and council tax is moderate.
Overall this is a tidy, chain-free flat with characterful exterior features, convenient parking and contemporary interiors — a practical, low‑effort purchase for an owner-occupier or buy-to-let investor seeking central Pontcanna with minimal upfront work required.
