This one-bedroom, first-floor retirement apartment in Pritchard Court offers easy, low-maintenance living in the heart of Llandaff Village. Positioned adjacent to the lift and offered chain free, the flat benefits from a sensible layout with an open-plan living area, a Juliet balcony, fitted kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. On-site communal amenities include a residents’ lounge, guest suite, laundry, landscaped gardens, dedicated house manager and private parking.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease (107 years remaining), private parking and a 24-hour emergency/security system give peace of mind, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern connectivity needs. The property is heated by electric storage heaters and has double glazing; it was constructed in the mid-2000s and presents in move-in condition for a single occupant or couple.
Buyers should note the running costs and tenure specifics: a half-yearly service charge (£1,686.37) and annual ground rent (£425) are payable, and council tax is above average. The property is within an area classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental prospects. Access and emergency support are geared to older residents, but only pull cords are fitted in the bathroom and hall, with a single pendant provision elsewhere.
Location is a genuine strength: immediate access to Llandaff’s shops, cafes, cathedral and frequent buses to the city centre. The building’s modest communal garden and on-site parking reduce maintenance burdens. Overall this is a sensible, low-effort retirement home or a buy-to-let aimed at older tenants, provided purchasers factor in service charges and local socio-economic considerations.
