A compact first-floor studio on Taff Embankment, offered chain free and with share of freehold, presents a straightforward entry into Cardiff city-centre property. The apartment totals approximately 366 sq ft and combines period character—high ceilings and bay-windowed exterior—with contemporary fittings: a modern kitchen, shower room and mezzanine bedroom area. Good natural light from skylights and double glazing help the small space feel airy.
This unit has proven short-let potential in its current conversion (one of three self-contained apartments in the Victorian building), so it will suit buyers seeking a rental or holiday-let income. Practical features include a gas-fired boiler and radiators, plumbing for a washing machine, and convenient walking access to Cardiff Central, local schools, shops and the Taff Trail.
Be aware of several material points: the building is a Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation; there is potential for damp in period properties and the mezzanine has restricted head height. The wider area records high crime and very high deprivation indices, which may affect long-term lettability and resale premium. Buyers should obtain their own survey and legal advice before proceeding.
This compact flat is best for investors or first-time buyers wanting a city-centre pied-à-terre, or a landlord seeking an add-on short-let unit. The low asking price and chain-free position give flexibility, but budget for potential remedial works and ongoing management given the location and building age.
