Set over two floors, this generous two-bedroom duplex maisonette offers far-reaching views across Cardiff Bay and a large overall footprint (approx. 1,540 sq ft). The property sits in the heart of Penarth town centre, within easy walking distance of shops, cafés, the marina and public transport — an attractive location for buyers who value convenience and coastal access.
The maisonette retains Victorian character with a stone façade, bay window and high ceilings in the living room. Gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a traditional layout provide a comfortable, liveable home now, while the size and room proportions give clear scope for cosmetic updating and reconfiguration to add value.
Buyers should note important legal and condition points: the listing states the property will be sold with a 999‑year lease on completion, but available records also show 64 years remaining — this mismatch may affect mortgage availability and buyers should verify lease documentation. The stone external walls likely lack cavity insulation, and some fixtures and finishes are dated, so expect refurbishment and potential additional costs (including leasehold pack fees). Council tax and local crime levels are above average and the area scores high on deprivation indices.
For first‑time buyers or small families seeking space, a coastal town centre address and panoramic bay views, this maisonette offers strong potential. Serious purchasers should obtain a full survey, check lease/title paperwork carefully and confirm lender acceptance before proceeding.
