Set on the second floor, this contemporary two double-bedroom apartment offers compact, open-plan city living with a private balcony and allocated undercroft parking. The master bedroom includes an en suite while an additional bathroom serves the second bedroom — practical for sharers or a small household. With double glazing and electric room heaters, the flat is ready to occupy but is best suited to buyers seeking low-renovation, modern finishes rather than period charm.
The flat sits within easy walking distance of Mermaid Quay and Cardiff Bay’s waterfront bars and restaurants, with strong transport links into Cardiff city centre — an attractive location for first-time buyers or investors targeting short-term lets. The building was constructed in the early 2000s and benefits from insulated cavity walls and contemporary fittings throughout the living space.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 103 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £2,400 and ground rent around £400. Council tax is above average. Heating relies on electric room heaters, which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The wider neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student area and records a very high crime indicator and high area deprivation, factors buyers should weigh up for family living or long-term security.
Offered chain-free with allocated off-street parking, the apartment represents a straightforward purchase for buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance city-base or a rental opportunity close to Cardiff Bay amenities. The compact footprint and contemporary finish mean valuation should reflect an urban starter home or rental unit rather than a larger family residence.
