Summary - Flat 4 83 Shirley road, Roath CF23 5HL
2 bed 2 bath Duplex
Freshly renovated, move-in ready flat close to Roath Park Lake and hospital.
Top-floor two-bedroom duplex with en-suite four-piece bathroom
Light-filled duplex apartment occupying the top floors of a handsome Victorian terrace, freshly renovated and presented to move-in condition. The open-plan living room with bay window and contemporary kitchen benefits from high ceilings and timber sash windows that retain period character while double glazing improves comfort.
Practical ownership details are strong: a very long lease (996 years) with a share of freehold, a modest service charge (about £27/month reported) and affordable council tax (Band C). Two double bedrooms include an en-suite four-piece bathroom plus a separate shower room, making the layout flexible for couples, sharers or a buy-to-let target audience.
Be aware this is a top-floor property in a dense, cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood. The building is Victorian and external walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating may feel brisk despite gas central heating and double glazing. The area is classified as very deprived, which can affect resale timing and tenant demand patterns.
Location is a genuine selling point: a short walk to Roath Park Lake, local shops and the University Hospital of Wales. For buyers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance flat with long-lease security and rental potential, this duplex offers immediate appeal; those seeking a quiet suburban plot or fully insulated period fabric should note the building’s age and assumed insulation status.
