Occupying the first floor of a handsome Victorian conversion, this two-bedroom apartment combines period character with modern finishes. High ceilings and bay-window light complement a bright open-plan kitchen, dining and living area finished with a grey gloss fitted kitchen and integrated appliances. Two double bedrooms and a contemporary shower room suit professionals, sharers or first-time buyers seeking move-in-ready accommodation.
Practical benefits include a share of freehold with an approximate 999-year lease, a paved communal rear garden with secure gated access, and a video intercom entry system. The property is gas‑heated via boiler and radiators, has double glazing (installation date unknown) and an EPC rating of C; council tax band C is described as affordable.
Location is a clear selling point: minutes from Roath Park and its lake, and a short walk to Wellfield Road’s shops, cafés and transport links. The building sits on a tree-lined residential street of period homes with on-street parking available.
Notable considerations: the building’s original granite/whinstone walls are assumed uninsulated, which could affect heating efficiency and future insulation costs. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived despite average local crime statistics, which may influence resale or rental demand. The apartment’s overall size is around 661 sq ft — comfortable but not large.
Overall this property offers strong character, long lease security and convenient local amenities, balanced by likely future investment in insulation and the socioeconomic profile of the immediate area.
