Set on Albany Road in Roath, this chain-free one-bedroom apartment occupies the first floor of a period conversion completed in 2016. The open-plan living space has a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a gas hob, and the double bedroom benefits from large bay-style windows that bring in generous light. A contemporary bathroom and allocated storage unit add practical value for everyday living or rental use.
With 116 years remaining on the lease and a sensible service charge, the flat offers straightforward ownership for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor targeting central Cardiff demand. The communal garden provides outdoor space without maintenance responsibility, while excellent mobile and broadband connectivity suit remote working and tenants who need fast internet.
Be clear about the running costs: the service charge is approximately £1,439 per year and the property is leasehold. The wider area is an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with mixed socio-economic indicators and higher local deprivation; the location is lively and close to shops, cafes, parks and Cardiff city centre, which can mean more footfall and busy streets compared with quieter suburbs.
Overall, this compact but well-presented apartment is best for someone seeking an affordable, low-maintenance entry into Roath or a rental opportunity with good connectivity and local amenity access. The accommodation is modern and practical, but buyers wanting larger living space or a private garden should note its size and communal outdoor provision.
