A bright first-floor two-bedroom maisonette offering a compact, well-laid-out home near Roath Park Lake and local amenities. The property comes chain-free with a share of freehold, an extended 125-year lease and no ground rent — attractive for buyers seeking low running lease costs.
Accommodation is straightforward: entrance porch with storage, landing, two double bedrooms, modern bathroom, living room and kitchen. The home benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and an EPC rating of C/76. Small gardens lie to the front and rear, providing outside space for potted planting or storage.
Practical realities: the overall size is small at about 503 sq ft, so space is best suited to first-time buyers, couples or an investment let. The immediate area is in a very deprived ward despite being popular with multi-ethnic professionals and families; nearby conveniences include shops, pubs and Tesco Express. Council Tax band D (moderate) applies.
This maisonette is a straightforward, low-entry opportunity close to good local schools and lakeside green space. It requires standard upkeep typical of a mid-2000s build and will reward buyers who prioritise location and low lease costs over generous internal floor area.
