This bright two-bedroom second-floor flat in Llandaff offers straightforward living with genuine potential. Generously sized rooms, a southwest-facing lounge and original parquet floors (hidden under carpets) give the apartment warmth and character. The modern fitted kitchen and bathroom are ready to use, while a full loft and private garage add practical space.
Ownership is secure: a 999-year lease and a share of freehold provide long-term certainty. Communal front and rear gardens, low crime levels and fast broadband suit working professionals or first-time buyers seeking a manageable home close to transport links and local schools. Council Tax Band D and an EPC rating of D are noted.
Important sale details and costs are material: the property is sold via the Modern Method of Auction, subject to a reserve price, with buyer fees and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600). A Buyer Information Pack must be viewed before bidding. Monthly service charge is modest (£80 / £960 annually) for communal upkeep.
Practical considerations: the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has double glazing installed before 2002; parts of the building have only partial cavity wall insulation (assumed). The area data also flags higher levels of deprivation locally—worth checking if that affects future plans. Viewings or inspection prior to bidding are strongly recommended.
