A compact studio on Merthyr Street, set within a Victorian terrace and positioned for quick lets and student demand. The open-plan room is neatly arranged with a fitted kitchenette, shower room and the benefit of high ceilings that add character and feel. Share of freehold transfers on completion, simplifying long-term ownership and management for a small investor.
This property is best suited to investors targeting short-term or student lets, or buyers seeking a low-maintenance city base. Its central Cathays address places Cardiff University, shops and transit links within easy walking distance, supporting steady rental demand. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, helping appeal to today’s renters.
Buyers should note the studio’s small footprint and the building’s age: constructed c.1900–29 with solid brick walls and no assumed insulation, so improvements (insulation, glazing upgrades and cosmetic updating) may be required to improve energy efficiency and long-term returns. The listing indicates cash buyers are preferred, which may suit investors prepared to move quickly.
Overall, this is a no-frills, well-located studio offering immediate letting potential and straightforward ownership via share of freehold, but it needs modest investment to maximise comfort and energy performance.
