This newly refurbished first-floor flat occupies a Victorian mid-terrace in Roath, offering a bright, spacious one-bedroom home across about 743 sq ft. The living room, double-aspect kitchen and bedroom feel airy thanks to high ceilings and period proportions, while recent redecoration and wooden floors present a move-in-ready interior.
The location is a primary attraction: close to the city centre, Albany and Wellfield Road shops, Roath Recreation Ground and Roath Park. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working or streaming, and the nearby university and student-focused amenities support rental demand for investors.
Be clear about material characteristics: the property sits in a very deprived, high-crime area, and the EPC is D. The building’s original stone walls likely lack added insulation, and double-glazing installation date is unknown. The flat is leasehold with 999 years remaining and affordable council tax, making it straightforward for buyers who prioritise long lease stability.
Overall, this is a cost-effective option for a first-time buyer seeking period character with minimal immediate works, or for an investor targeting steady rental demand in a student-dominated neighbourhood. Early viewing is recommended to assess fit and location trade-offs in person.
