A compact, characterful ground-floor flat in a Victorian conversion on the Taff Embankment, offered with no onward chain and a long lease. The open-plan living/kitchen has a bay window that brings in natural light and river-side views, while the double bedroom and bathroom provide straightforward, comfortable accommodation for a single occupant or couple. The fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, and the combi boiler is about six years old and regularly serviced.
Practical running costs are reasonable: double glazing throughout, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, affordable council tax (likely around band C) and a modest service charge (c. £160). The property is offered as a share of freehold with an effectively very long lease (999 years from 2004), simplifying ownership paperwork for buyers.
Know the trade-offs before viewing: the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so heating costs may be higher than modern standards unless upgraded. Outside space is minimal despite a noted garden for the building, and the immediate area records high deprivation levels and average crime statistics. That said, the location is strong for city living — riverside walks, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and quick access to Cardiff city centre amenities.
This flat suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable city base with period character and low upfront purchase friction, or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward rental in a central riverside position. It requires little immediate work internally but offers potential to improve energy efficiency and attract city-centre tenants or new owners wanting proximity to the Taff and town.
