This one-bedroom apartment on Oakfield Street offers straightforward city living in sought-after Roath, close to transport links and local amenities. The open-plan reception and kitchen feel bright thanks to large windows and skylights; wood floors and modern fittings make the space easy to maintain.
Practical features include gated allocated parking, double glazing, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and an average-sized 581 sq ft layout suitable for a single occupant or couple. The property is presented in good condition and presents clear rental or owner-occupier potential in a high-demand student and commuter area.
Important caveats are material. The lease details supplied are inconsistent, and the listing states there are 77 years remaining — a level at which many mortgage lenders will likely refuse to lend. The area records high crime and significant deprivation, which will affect desirability and yields; buyers should factor this into rent expectations and insurance. The tenure is leasehold, so check service charges, ground rent and lease terms before proceeding.
Overall, this apartment is best suited to a cash buyer or a buy-to-let investor comfortable with the local market realities, or a first-time buyer prepared to resolve financing and long-lease issues. A clear pre-purchase check on lease documentation, lender acceptability and local management will be essential.
