This top-floor penthouse in Brecon House has been refurbished to a high standard and offers commanding, uninterrupted harbour and sea views from two terraces. The open-plan 24ft lounge/kitchen/diner is bright from floor-to-ceiling glazing and fitted with luxury integrated appliances — a strong draw for short-stay guests or a high-end rental listing.
The apartment has three double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, built-in wardrobes, air conditioning and private terrace access. Two allocated underground parking spaces and lift access add convenience for owner-occupiers and holiday visitors alike.
Practical points for investors: the property is leasehold with c.173 years remaining, service charges around £3,879pa and Council Tax Band F (expensive). Heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas, and broadband speeds are average — factors that may affect running costs and tenant appeal. The wider area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with higher local crime statistics; suitable screening and pricing will be important if letting short term.
Overall, this is a striking, turnkey penthouse with clear holiday-let or buy-to-let potential thanks to its waterfront position, high-spec finish and parking. Buyers wanting lower ongoing costs or a quieter residential location should note the service charge, council tax and local demographic mix before proceeding.
