Period charm and long lease near Roath Park lake — ideal for first-time buyers.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and bay window
This first-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies a handsome period conversion near Roath Park’s lake and Wellfield Road amenities. The open-plan living and kitchen area, high ceilings and bay-window character give a spacious, bright feel suited to sharers or first-time buyers looking for period charm with modern convenience.
Practical benefits include a modern shower room, double bedrooms, video intercom secure entry and a paved communal rear garden with gated access. The property comes with a share of freehold and an exceptionally long 999-year lease, providing ownership security uncommon at this price point.
Buyers should note the building dates from the early 20th century and external walls are likely uninsulated; some thermal upgrading may be desirable. The area is very deprived statistically and has average crime levels — factors that affect longer-term resale and rental markets. Council Tax band C and fast broadband/mobiles are positives for day-to-day living.
Overall, this apartment suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking affordable access to Cardiff city living, close to transport, shops and university facilities. It offers immediate move-in with scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
