This two-bedroom first-floor maisonette in Duffryn Close offers a practical, move-in-ready layout with the major advantage of no onward chain. The generous living/dining room and two double bedrooms give a feeling of space uncommon in many flats, while large windows bring in plentiful natural light. Off-street parking, an included garage and private outdoor space add real everyday convenience.
The position in a quiet residential pocket of Cardiff combines good transport links and local amenities with a peaceful street setting. The long lease (988 years) removes a common leasehold worry, and the below-average service charge (£85) helps running costs. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent and the property has no flood risk.
The maisonette does show signs of age and would benefit from modernization to update fixtures and decor—there is clear potential to improve value with modest investment. Council tax is above average for the area and the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, which buyers should factor into long-term planning.
Overall this property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a spacious two-bedroom home with parking, outside space and minimal purchase complexity. A straightforward chain-free sale and a long lease make this an accessible purchase for those prepared to refresh the interior and personalise the space.
