Summary - RAGLAN HOUSE FLAT 8 WESTGATE STREET CARDIFF CF10 1DN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large two-bed period flat with concierge and long lease in central Cardiff.
Two double bedrooms with sash windows and high ceilings
A spacious, larger-than-average two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Cardiff city centre. Set on the first floor of a period brick-faced building, the property retains high ceilings and sash-style windows that flood the principal reception with light; the large lounge/diner and two double bedrooms offer comfortable, flexible living space for professionals or investors. One bedroom opens onto a small balcony, and the apartment benefits from gas central heating, secondary glazing and a modern fitted kitchen.
Practical positives include a long lease (136 years remaining), no ground rent, 24-hour on-site concierge and fast broadband/mobile coverage. The flat is offered chain-free, which simplifies purchase or letting. Annual service charge is approximately £4,085 and covers communal maintenance, lifts and building insurance; there is no separate ground rent payable.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property sits in a very deprived, very high crime area which may affect desirability and rental yields. Council tax is described as expensive and the EPC is a D, so ongoing energy costs could be above average. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated which may increase heating demand. There is no private garden and parking will be limited, typical of central locations.
This apartment will suit investors seeking city-centre rental demand or professionals wanting central living with period character. Its size and layout give scope for redecoration or improvement to enhance value, but prospective buyers should factor in the higher service charge and local area considerations when assessing returns or resale potential.
