Summary - OCEAN BUILDINGS 17 BUTE CRESCENT CARDIFF CF10 5AY
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Central Mermaid Quay flat — two doubles, balcony and courtyard, minutes from transport..
Two double bedrooms ideal for sharers or investors
Set in the heart of Mermaid Quay, this two-double-bedroom apartment suits sharers or investors seeking central Cardiff Bay living. The large open-plan living space and modern kitchen create an airy, sociable apartment for entertaining or letting to professionals. The balcony offers pleasant side bay views and a private residents’ courtyard provides outdoor space in a city-centre setting.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 106 years remaining, an average overall size (732 sq ft), and double glazing. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and utility costs should be considered alongside the advertised service charge and ground rent.
Notable considerations: the building sits in a very high crime area and the local neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand and insurance premiums. The service charge (circa £2,500 pa) and an expensive council tax band are material ongoing costs. For buyers wanting lower running costs or a long-term family home, these factors should be weighed carefully.
This apartment is best for buyers prioritising location—those wanting a lively social scene, short commutes, and immediate access to shops, restaurants, transport links and entertainment. Investors will find strong lettability potential to professionals or sharers; first-time buyers should factor in running costs and local area considerations before committing.
