Summary - 29 FAIRLEIGH ROAD CARDIFF CF11 9JW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact one-bedroom apartment with parking in popular Pontcanna, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Prime Pontcanna location near Llandaff and Pontcanna Fields
Set on Fairleigh Road in sought-after Pontcanna, this first-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-laid-out home in a vibrant neighbourhood. At about 410 sq ft the accommodation feels larger than the footprint suggests thanks to generously proportioned principal rooms and double glazing that helps retain heat and reduce street noise. A designated off-street parking space is a rare convenience for the area.
The apartment is gas‑heated via a Baxi boiler with radiators throughout and comes with simple, practical finishes — carpeted living and bedroom areas, slate‑effect flooring in the kitchen and vinyl bathroom flooring. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and streaming. Pontcanna’s cafés, shops and Llandaff and Pontcanna Fields are an easy walk away, adding lifestyle value for buyers or tenants.
Buyers should note material points factually: the flat is leasehold with about 81 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £100; additional leasehold fees (eg. packs) may apply. The building dates from before 1900 and external walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect future energy improvements. There are local area issues — high crime and very deprived indicators — and a room description flagged potential mould, so a survey and targeted remedial works are recommended. Overall, the property suits first‑time buyers seeking a Pontcanna base or investors after a well‑located, easy‑to-manage rental, but expect some cosmetic work and to check lease and service details before purchase.
