Period character, modern finish, communal garden — long lease, ideal for first-time buyers.
Long lease and share of freehold — 991 years remaining
This well-presented first-floor Victorian apartment combines period character with contemporary finishes, making it a practical move-in home for first-time buyers or professionals. High ceilings, bay-style proportions and a bright lounge/diner give a sense of space uncommon in many city flats, while the modern kitchen and bathroom reduce immediate renovation costs.
The property benefits from a long lease and share of freehold (991 years remaining), mains gas central heating and access to a communal rear garden—a valuable outdoor amenity in this central location. At around 674 sq ft, the layout suits single professionals, couples or small households looking for a low-maintenance city base close to central Cardiff and local amenities.
Buyers should note a few realistic drawbacks: the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, the EPC is in the D band, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The neighbourhood scores as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, so purchasers prioritising quiet or high safety standards should investigate further. The communal garden is shared between apartments and accessed via external stairs.
Overall this apartment offers good immediate comfort, character and long-term security of tenure, with clear potential to improve energy performance and digital connectivity. It will appeal to buyers who value central city living, period features and a manageable first home rather than those seeking rural tranquillity or high-speed internet out of the box.
