Summary - 256 Claude Road, Roath, Cardiff CF24 3PZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bedroom flat with private garden in well-connected Roath.
Open-plan kitchen and living room with plenty of natural light
This compact one-bedroom flat offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan kitchen/living room is bright and practical, and the well-proportioned bedroom with a bay window adds period character. A private garden is a rare find for an apartment at this size and gives useful outdoor space.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (share of freehold with c.983 years remaining), gas central heating and double glazing. The property is chain-free and sits in a sought-after Roath location with excellent public transport links and close local amenities — convenient for commuting, shopping and university access.
Be realistic about the trade-offs: the flat is small at 437 sq ft and best suited to a single occupant or couple. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and walls are likely solid with no insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements may be required. The local area scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime, which may affect some buyers’ preferences or lettability. Overall, this is a compact, characterful home or buy-to-let with clear potential once minor energy upgrades and cosmetic updates are considered.
