Characterful 2-bed Pontcanna flat with parking and long lease, ideal for city living or rental.
Allocated off-street parking space to the rear
A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat set within an attractive Victorian terrace on Cathedral Road, Pontcanna. The open-plan kitchen/living area and original bay windows give period character while efficient, modern fittings make the layout easy to live in. At about 528 sq ft this is a small home well suited to a single occupant, couple or a buy-to-let investor seeking central Cardiff location and good transport and digital connectivity.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, mains gas central heating with a combi boiler, double glazing to many windows, and a long lease (circa 154 years remaining). Annual service charge is around £500 and ground rent is a peppercorn, keeping running costs predictable.
Buyers should note material downsides plainly: the flat is small and single-bathroomed, located in an area with very high crime and high local deprivation, and the building’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to lack insulation which could affect energy efficiency and heating costs. The property is leasehold, so purchasers must factor in that tenure and communal management arrangements.
This is a practical, characterful central Cardiff flat that offers rental potential or an affordable city living base close to parks, cafés and the city centre. It suits buyers who prioritise location, character and digital connectivity, and who accept the compact size and the local-area challenges.
