Compact two-bed with balcony, parking and good rental potential.
Wrap-around balcony with open river views
A compact, chain-free two-bedroom apartment with river views and immediate rental potential in Cardiff Bay. The second-floor flat sits on a gated development between the Bay and the city centre and is offered vacant, making it easy to re-let or move into.
Practical features include a wrap-around balcony with open river views, allocated off-street parking, two double bedrooms (main with en-suite) and underfloor heating throughout. The 528 sq ft layout is efficient: large open-plan living/kitchen, storage cupboard and modern fixtures in kitchen and bathrooms.
This location delivers strong demand from students and short-term city renters thanks to its proximity to amenities and excellent mobile/broadband. However, be realistic about local challenges: the neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student area with very high crime and very high deprivation indices, which can affect long-term capital growth and resale profile.
The property is leasehold with 128 years remaining and is compact in size, so it will suit investors seeking rental yield or buyers wanting a low-maintenance city pied-à-terre rather than a family home. Expected refurbishment is minimal for immediate letting, but consider security and management measures given local crime levels.
