This ground-floor, newly renovated one-bedroom apartment sits on prestigious Cathedral Road in Pontcanna, offering contemporary living within a converted Victorian townhouse. The open-plan living space features a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, LED lighting and designer finishes; bi-folding doors from the king-size bedroom open onto a private courtyard garden — a rare outdoor space for a city apartment.
Practical benefits include share of freehold with a 150-year lease, full-fibre broadband, comprehensive fire safety (sprinklers, alarms) and high-spec fixtures throughout. The layout and finishes suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a city-base close to Bute Park, Sophia Gardens, Pontcanna Fields and Cardiff city centre.
Buyers should note the apartment is all-electric with individual electric room heaters and hot-water cylinders; this can mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. The building’s original sandstone or limestone walls are assumed uninsulated, and glazing install dates are unknown — further surveys are recommended to confirm thermal performance and potential retrofit costs.
The immediate area offers excellent amenities and green spaces but also records higher crime and significant area deprivation statistics; purchasers should factor local context into their decision. The property is move-in ready and stylish, but sensible buyers will verify services, energy costs and carry out a full legal and building inspection before exchange.
