Chain-free one-bedroom with balcony, parking and 24-hour concierge in Cardiff Bay.
Eighth-floor apartment with direct water views over Cardiff Bay
Set on the eighth floor of a gated riverside development, this one-bedroom apartment offers direct water views and an open-plan living area that maximises space and light. The decked balcony overlooks Cardiff Bay, creating a calm spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
The fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom are ready for immediate use, and the double bedroom includes built-in storage. Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, lift access, 24-hour concierge and communal gardens — conveniences suited to first-time buyers or professionals wanting a low-maintenance city base.
Buyers should note material running costs: an average service charge of around £3,000 and annual ground rent of £100. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than central heating, which can affect energy costs. The apartment is leasehold with 104 years remaining and is offered chain-free for a quicker purchase.
Location is a major strength: a short walk delivers Cardiff Bay’s pool, ice rink, restaurants, marina and transport links. However, the immediate neighbourhood scores high for crime and is in a very deprived area index; consider this when assessing long-term rental prospects or family suitability.
At approximately 462 sq ft, the flat is compact but well laid out. It suits a first-time buyer seeking waterside living, an investor after a city-centre buy-to-let, or someone wanting a pied-à-terre in central Cardiff.
