This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Pontcanna, offering a compact but characterful home ideal for first-time buyers. The reception room benefits from a bay window with park views, traditional herringbone/wood-block flooring and a feature fireplace, while recent kitchen and bathroom upgrades mean it is ready to move into.
Practical positives include private resident parking to the rear, an additional garage and storage unit, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The flat comes with a very long lease (967 years remaining) and no onward chain, reducing purchase friction.
Buyers should note the property is small at around 563 sq ft and sits in a building of solid brick construction (likely without cavity insulation). Annual service and maintenance charges are substantial at £2,153.76, and the tenure is leasehold — although the remaining term is effectively long. The area data supplied also records high local deprivation scores despite the property’s central Pontcanna location; consider local services and costs when budgeting.
Overall this is a compact, well-maintained period apartment with immediate usability and good scope for cosmetic personalisation. It will suit a buyer prioritising location, character and convenience over large internal space.
