Set within an attractive Victorian former hotel in central Penarth, this duplex one-bedroom apartment offers striking elevated, panoramic views across the town and toward the Channel. The turreted principal reception room has original arched windows, a vaulted ceiling, marble fireplace and plenty of natural light — a memorable living space for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
The apartment is chain free and well presented with new carpets, modern bathroom, a compact fitted kitchen and gas central heating. Practical storage is provided by built-in cupboards and a large bedroom on the lower level. The building is close to Alexandra Park, the railway station and a wide range of local amenities, with rear access from the car park on Hickman Road.
Important drawbacks are clearly stated: the flat is leasehold with only 67 years remaining (93-year lease from 1998), which may limit mortgage options and could require lease extension discussions. Service charges and a small ground rent apply (service charge approx. £1,918–£2,318 p.a. / maintenance c. £193.21 pcm; ground rent £217 p.a.), and the building’s original stone walls are uninsulated, typical of vintage construction. Buyers should budget for potential long-term maintenance and confirm lender requirements for the lease length before committing.
