Set on Jim Driscoll Way, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers direct water views over Cardiff Bay and Penarth from a private balcony. The open-plan lounge/kitchen provides a bright, flexible living space ideal for everyday life and entertaining. With an en-suite to the master and a large family bathroom, the layout suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a lettable two-bed in a central location.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with 129 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £2,000 and ground rent of £150. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the glazing dates from before 2002, which could mean higher running costs and potential future upgrades. Council tax is above average.
The location is a major asset — shops, parks and supermarkets are nearby, and a riverside path gives direct walking access into Cardiff Bay and the city centre. The development is modern and well-presented, built between 1996–2002, so the apartment requires minimal cosmetic work but buyers should plan for possible mechanical and heating updates.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located apartment that delivers strong water views and easy city access. It will particularly suit first-time buyers looking for a move-in-ready home with view appeal, or investors attracted by a desirable riverside address, provided they account for service charges and heating costs.
