This one-bedroom first-floor flat on Newport Road offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase for a first-time buyer or investor. Set in a Victorian-style building, the property benefits from high ceilings, a bow-fronted living room and a large double bedroom, all within an easy 15-minute walk of Cardiff city centre and frequent bus links.
Practical features include off-street parking, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing installed before 2002. The lease has approximately 152 years remaining, which supports mortgageability, and running costs include an average service charge of £1,200 and small ground rent of £100 per year. Council tax is band B.
The flat is offered with genuine potential but will reward some updating: parts of the building show dated fittings and may need modernisation to maximise value. Buyers should note the local context — the area is classed as very deprived with a very high crime rate — and factor this into living or letting decisions.
This property suits someone seeking a well-located starter home or a buy-to-let opportunity who is comfortable with modest refurbishment and clear-eyed about local social challenges. Independent surveys and checks on services, safety and leasehold documentation are recommended before purchase.
