Set across the first and second floors, this two-bedroom maisonette offers a bright lounge, fitted kitchen and bathroom with useful built-in storage. The property includes a private garage and double glazing, and sits within easy walking distance of local shops, bus routes and schools — convenient for daily commuting and amenities.
The flat is leasehold with approximately 117 years remaining; annual liabilities include an estimated service charge of £1,400 and ground rent of £100. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so buyers should expect typical mid‑century maintenance and potential for cosmetic improvement.
This home will suit first-time purchasers seeking an affordable entry into Penylan or investors targeting the local rental market; the layout provides straightforward rooms and a garage which adds rental or owner-occupier convenience. Note the area records higher crime and significant local deprivation indicators, which prospective buyers should weigh alongside location benefits.
Practical next steps: budget for an independent survey and services inspection (electrical/heating checks recommended), and factor leasehold costs and any refurbishment into your offer. The property’s compact, average-sized footprint and communal grounds mean it’s best suited to those prioritising location and transport links over private outdoor space.
