Set on Kings Road between Pontcanna and Canton, this ground-floor Victorian apartment offers genuine scope to add value. The flat has two double bedrooms, a private rear garden and the unusual benefit that the building’s freehold is being sold with the apartment — a rare advantage for buyers in this area. With 700 sq ft of accommodation and permit on-street parking, it sits within easy walking distance of cafés, shops and Cardiff city centre.
The property requires modernisation throughout, making it a straightforward refurbishment project for first-time buyers looking to personalise a home or for investors seeking a rental or resale opportunity. Key systems are conventional: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and solid brick walls (likely without insulation), so factor in improvement costs for energy efficiency and cosmetic works.
Practical positives include a private, block‑paved rear garden with rear access, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Notable concerns are the need for renovation, the neighbourhood’s very high crime and very deprived area indicators, and likely additional costs associated with leasehold documentation and any refurbishment works. Buyers are advised to verify tenure details, service records and any fees before committing.
