High local crime and very deprived area — affects lettings and insurance
Part of three flats on one title; check title and planning before changes
A roomy ground-floor apartment in a converted Victorian terrace, this two-double-bedroom flat offers a private west-facing garden and straightforward access to Cardiff city centre. The layout includes a modern kitchen, bright lounge/diner with sliding doors to the garden, and a three-piece bathroom. At around 680 sq ft, the accommodation is practical and ready to occupy or rent.
The property has proven rental and short-let performance historically, having been run successfully as an AirBnB unit. Its location close to Cardiff Central and Grangetown stations, local schools and riverside walks makes it appealing to short-stay guests, young professionals and investors seeking strong let demand.
Buyers should note material factors associated with older Victorian buildings: solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, the double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not meet current standards, and the building dates from before 1900. There is a reported high local crime rate and the wider area shows high deprivation indicators—these are important for owner-occupiers and investors to consider when pricing, insurance and lettings planning.
The flat is freehold and forms part of a larger property that has been subdivided into three separate flats on one title. That offers flexibility for reconfiguration or continued multi-unit rental, but any changes should be checked against title documents and planning guidance. Heating is by gas boiler and radiators; a basic survey will confirm condition and any necessary upgrades.
