Bright second-floor one-bedroom flat in Hillside Court offers practical city living with outdoor space and garage parking. The living room opens onto a balcony that captures natural light through large windows; a separate kitchen, good built-in storage and a private storage room add everyday convenience. Communal gardens and off-street parking complement the included garage.
The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the flat uses electric room heaters and double glazing (install date unknown). Service charge and ground rent cover communal maintenance; the current service charge is about £1,260 per year and ground rent £10 per year. The property is chain free, which simplifies purchase.
Important considerations: the lease has 83 years remaining and will require renewal in the near future, which may affect mortgage availability and future costs. Heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating, which can increase running costs. The immediate area shows higher levels of deprivation, though the location is within comfortable walking distance of Roath Park, Albany/Wellfield Road shops and good bus links to Cardiff city centre.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or investor looking for a light, manageable home or let-ready property in Penylan. It offers straightforward accommodation with potential to update heating and kitchen finishes, but buyers should factor in lease extension costs and electric heating when assessing value.
