Affordable long-lease flat with communal gardens and easy motorway access.
One double bedroom, lounge/diner, kitchen and bathroom
This well-presented one-bedroom apartment sits in a mid‑20th century purpose-built block close to the A48 and M4, offering straightforward access to Cardiff city centre and local amenities. The flat includes a spacious lounge/diner, double bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, and benefits from long leasehold tenure (around 958 years remaining). Communal gardens, residents’ parking (unallocated) and a storage shed add practical value for tenants.
The property is attractive for investors seeking a low-entry, city-centre rental with modest running costs. Service charge and ground rent are low (circa £79 and £105 respectively), council tax is described as cheap, and broadband and mobile signals are strong—useful for letting to commuters or young professionals. The building’s post‑war brick construction and double glazing are typical for the era and present a low-maintenance exterior.
There are material points to note frankly: the flat is heated by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which can increase running costs compared with gas. The building appears to have cavity walls with no installed insulation (assumed), which may reduce energy efficiency and could justify future retrofit works. Parking is unallocated and the setting faces the communal parking area rather than attractive views. The wider area is classified as very deprived and has average crime levels, which investors should factor into rental strategy and pricing.
Overall, this compact apartment offers dependable rental potential and long lease security, with scope for improving energy performance and tenant appeal through targeted upgrades. It suits buy-to-let purchasers or someone seeking an affordable, low‑maintenance city pied‑à‑terre.
