Stylish compact apartment close to parks and city amenities.
Chain free sale with long lease (circa 196 years)
Set within a converted Victorian stone façade on Cathedral Road, this one-bedroom first-floor duplex offers a compact, modern living space ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan kitchen/living room features integrated appliances and herringbone flooring, while the upper-floor double bedroom has built-in wardrobes and high ceilings that retain period character.
Practical positives include a long lease (circa 196 years remaining), chain-free sale, and no flooding risk. The apartment sits close to Pontcanna Fields and the city centre, offering convenient access to shops, cafes and public transport. EPC rating C suggests reasonable energy efficiency for an older conversion.
Buyers should note the property runs on electric storage heaters and mains electricity; this can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Annual service charge and ground rent apply (£2,000 and £200 respectively) and council tax is above average (Band E), all factors to budget for. The surrounding area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand despite the desirable Pontcanna location.
The apartment is well presented and ready to occupy, but has limited internal floor space (448 sqft) and an urban outlook. It suits someone wanting a stylish, low-maintenance home close to city amenities or an investor seeking a centrally located rental with period charm — provided they accept the service charges, heating type and local area considerations.
