Bright, deceptively spacious two-bedroom apartment arranged over two levels, tucked within a gated development in Pontcanna. At around 927 sq ft the flat feels more like a semi-detached home thanks to its separate-building position and generous room proportions, including vaulted ceilings and large rooflights that flood the upper rooms with light.
The standout feature is a large private south-facing roof terrace — ideal for entertaining, al fresco dining or quiet city views. The open-plan living/dining room with wood flooring flows to a Juliet balcony, while an upper-level sitting room provides a flexible work-from-home space or second reception area. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and there is an allocated undercroft parking space.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (979 years), share of freehold ownership, double glazing and gas central heating. The building is modern (constructed c.2003–2006) and the EPC is C. This apartment will suit professional buyers or small families seeking generous internal living and an exceptional private outdoor space inside the city.
Notable drawbacks are the comparatively high annual service charge (£2,532.76) and Council Tax band F, which increase running costs. Local statistics show above-average crime and a very deprived area score in parts of the wider neighbourhood; buyers should consider these factors and carry out their own local enquiries and a full survey before purchase.
