This chain-free, first-floor flat offers straightforward entry to homeownership with immediate vacant possession and an extended 143‑year lease. The layout includes a generous living room, practical kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom — a compact, usable home for a first-time buyer or small family. UPVC double glazing and electric storage heating reduce maintenance but can increase running costs compared with gas heating.
Outside there is an allocated off-street parking space and an allocated rear lawned garden with established shrub borders — rare features for a flat of this size and useful for outdoor living or drying laundry. Service costs are minimal: ground rent £30 p.a., no service charge and buildings insurance approx. £206.35 p.a. Council Tax Band B (2025-26) provides relatively low local taxes.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the property is modest in overall size (592 sq ft) and uses electric storage heaters, which may be costlier to run. The surrounding area records higher crime and very high deprivation scores, which some buyers will weigh against the convenience of nearby Cogan station, Tesco and Penarth/Cardiff links. Constructed 1976–82, the building presents standard finishes and could benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value.
