Set within an attractive Victorian conversion on Cathedral Road, this one-bedroom apartment combines period character with contemporary finishes and a private balcony overlooking Bute Park. The open-plan living space has an integrated Smeg oven, induction hob and additional integrated appliances, making it move-in ready for city living. An allocated secure parking space and gated rear access direct to the park add practical daily convenience.
The bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in storage and neutral decor. The building offers lift and stair access and video entry for security. The apartment is sold as a share of freehold, with confirmed service charge and ground rent figures (see details). Its compact 468 sq ft layout is efficient for single professionals or couples wanting easy access to Pontcanna and Cardiff city centre.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property is heated by electric storage heaters (no gas central heating), council tax is above average and the wider area records high crime and very high deprivation indices. Service charge and ground rent are payable (approx. £952.50 per six months service charge; £142.23 per six months ground rent). These factors and the urban location are important for budgeting and insurance considerations.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central Pontcanna address with park views, secure parking and low immediate maintenance. It offers a blend of Victorian character and contemporary fittings, but purchasers should be comfortable with electric heating and the documented local social indicators before proceeding.
