Summary - MCLAY COURT FLAT 18 ST FAGANS ROAD CARDIFF CF5 3BP
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Accessible, low-maintenance living close to shops and frequent bus routes.
Ground-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment with patio doors to communal gardens
This ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment at McLay Court offers single-level living with patio doors onto communal gardens — ideal for purchasers aged 55+ seeking low-maintenance accommodation. The development provides on-site support and communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, lift to all floors and a 24-hour Appello emergency call system.
Internally the layout is a modest, average-sized retirement flat with lounge/dining area, fitted kitchen and bathroom. The property benefits from video door entry (linked to owners’ TV), an intruder alarm system and a Development Manager on site, giving reassurance and community-focused living.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the lease runs from 1999 with approximately 92 years remaining; the service charge is high (£4,239.06 pa) and ground rent is comparatively expensive (£753.92 pa). Heating is by electric storage heaters and windows are double glazed (pre-2002), which may affect running costs. The surrounding area records above-average crime and high deprivation indices, though public transport is very good and local shops are within a short walk.
This apartment suits downsizers who prioritise safety, communal services and minimal outdoor upkeep, and who understand the ongoing service and ground rent commitments. It may also appeal to those wanting an accessible base close to Cardiff bus links and amenities, but buyers seeking low running costs or long leases should factor in the electric heating and service charges when deciding to view.
