Guide price £135,000. This newly renovated ground-floor garden flat in Roath offers compact, move-in-ready accommodation with a long lease and private outdoor space. The layout includes an entrance hall, lounge, modern fitted kitchen, double bedroom and a wet room — presented with new partitioning and recent insulation work in the bedroom.
The flat’s strengths are practical: double glazing, gas central heating with a combi boiler, solid wood floors and a generous enclosed rear garden — rare for a one-bedroom ground-floor unit. At about 330 sq ft the home suits a single buyer or couple seeking an affordable step onto the property ladder close to city-centre amenities and transport links.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The property is small in overall size and constructed as a solid-brick Victorian mid-terrace (c.1900–1929) with assumed no cavity insulation in the external walls. The immediate neighbourhood records very high crime and high area deprivation; prospective purchasers should factor local conditions into their decision. Leasehold details indicate c.155 years remaining; the vendor states no current ground rent or service charge but additional leasepack fees may apply.
A straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, renovated flat with a private garden. Independent checks are recommended for services, structural condition and local safety considerations before committing.
