Bright one-bedroom home with garden access, ideal for first-time buyers.
1/4 share of freehold with c.131 years remaining on lease
A compact one-bedroom first-floor flat in Uppercliff Close, offered with a 1/4 share of freehold and a long lease (approximately 131 years). The apartment is bright, with a living room overlooking the rear garden and direct pedestrian access to the garden via a fire escape. Its location in a quiet cul-de-sac puts Penarth town centre, local shops, public transport and the seafront within easy reach — ideal for someone wanting a low‑maintenance home close to amenities.
Internals are straightforward: a double bedroom, a living/dining room, a small fitted kitchen and a bathroom with a full suite. Heating is by mains‑gas boiler and radiators; the property has double glazing though installation dates are unknown. Service charge is listed at £300 (below average) and council tax is described as affordable — helpful for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let purchasers seeking predictable running costs.
Buyers should note the property’s small overall size (around 323 sq ft) and the limited room count. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and cavity walls are recorded with no added insulation assumed, so there may be scope — and cost — to improve thermal efficiency. The property is leasehold, but the long remaining term and the share of freehold reduce common leasehold risks. The surrounding area shows a mix of professional residents and indicators of wider area deprivation — local services are available, but consider longer‑term area trends if buying as an investment.
Overall this flat suits an onward first‑time buyer, a downsizer seeking low maintenance, or an investor after a compact, well‑located unit with good broadband and mobile connectivity. Be aware of its compact footprint and potential energy‑efficiency improvements when assessing value.
