Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor flat with private rear garden in coveted Pontcanna.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, chain-free
A ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in sought-after Pontcanna, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The flat benefits from a bay-fronted lounge, practical kitchen/breakfast room and a private, enclosed rear garden with lane access — a rare outdoor space for a ground-floor apartment. With quick access to Cardiff city centre, local shops and transport, it suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a convenient urban base.
The building retains attractive Victorian character externally and the accommodation feels light and spacious for its size. The layout is straightforward and functional, and the long lease (164 years remaining) removes short-lease complications often found in similar homes. Service charge is modest at £319 per annum.
Buyers should note the property is a small overall size (approximately 614 sq ft) and the kitchen and some internal finishes are dated and would benefit from modernization. The EPC is D and the party walls are likely uninsulated (period sandstone/limestone construction), so heating and insulation improvements could be required to reduce running costs. The immediate area records high crime and higher local deprivation indices, which may affect some buyers’ preferences and rental prospects.
This flat presents a realistic entry point into Pontcanna’s popular market: solid lease length, private garden and close city access are genuine positives, while modest renovation and energy-efficiency work will be necessary to unlock full value.
