Characterful one-bedroom in Roath with long lease and low charges.
Top-floor one-bedroom with large lounge and kitchen/breakfast room
Set on the top floor of a Victorian townhouse in lively Roath, this spacious one-bedroom apartment blends period character with practical modern upgrades. The lounge is generous enough for living and dining zones plus a home-working desk; the kitchen/breakfast room and double bedroom offer comfortable everyday living. A recently fitted combi boiler and a long lease (over 900 years) reduce immediate ownership worries.
The location is a major draw: Wellfield Road’s independent shops, cafes and restaurants are a short walk away and Cardiff city centre is within easy reach by foot or bus. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote work and city commuting. Communal outside space adds usable outdoor amenity.
Plainly stated faults: the building predates 1900 and the stone/granite walls are assumed to have no insulation, which can increase heating needs and bills despite double glazing of unknown age. The neighbourhood shows higher-than-average crime and significant area deprivation, so buyers should factor local context into their decision. Service charge is low (around £40/month) and council tax is described as affordable.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking a characterful home near the city, or investors targeting strong rental demand in Roath. It provides immediate move-in comfort but also scope for cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements to add value.
