This ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat on Danescourt Way offers independent access, easy single-level living and low-maintenance communal grounds — ideal for someone seeking a manageable home close to local shops, healthcare and public transport. The apartment is presented in neutral, contemporary style with an open plan lounge/diner, modern fitted kitchen and a well-appointed shower room. A door from the bedroom opens onto the shared lawn and paved patio for a bit of private outdoor space.
Practical strengths include long lease terms (999 years shown), chain-free sale, on-site parking and a communal residents’ lounge. The property has double glazing and an EPC rating of D with potential to improve; straightforward energy upgrades would both raise comfort and resale value. The block is located in the established Danescourt/Llandaff suburb with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and very low local crime.
Material drawbacks are clear and fact-based: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas; the service charge is circa £237 pcm (listed as £2,844 pa) which must be factored into affordability; parking is on a first-come, first-served basis; and the wider area is described as having high deprivation indicators despite local amenities. Prospective buyers should confirm tenure paperwork (both freehold and a 999-year lease are referenced) and see the forthcoming floorplan and a viewing to verify internal layout and measurements.
Overall this is a compact, low-maintenance retirement apartment well suited to a single occupant or couple wanting ground-floor convenience and local services on the doorstep. It offers good scope for modest modernisation and energy improvements to increase comfort and long-term value.
