This two-bedroom leasehold apartment on Vellacott Close offers a compact, well-presented city base close to Cardiff city centre and Bay. The flat benefits from double-glazed windows, modern finishes and an allocated off-street parking space — practical features for everyday city living.
Internally the layout is traditional with a separate kitchen and a combined living/dining room. Accommodation is small-to-average (approximately 752 sq ft) and presented neutrally, so it will suit a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking reliable rental appeal in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood. The long lease (approx. 973 years) is a strong legal position for a leasehold purchase.
Buyers should note material running costs and area factors: an annual service charge of around £1,995 and an additional small ground rent of £50, plus above-average council tax. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building block dates from the early 1990s, so buyers wanting lower running costs or upgraded heating should plan for potential improvements.
The wider location is urban and lively, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suitable for working from home. However the immediate area records higher crime and very high levels of deprivation, so prospective purchasers should weigh neighbourhood considerations alongside the apartment’s convenience and strong access to transport and amenities.
