This first-floor two-bedroom flat on Northcliffe Drive offers exceptional, far-reaching views across Penarth Marina and Cardiff Bay — the large picture window and private deck make the outlook a defining feature. The accommodation is compact but efficiently laid out with a living/dining room, separate kitchen with fitted units and integrated appliances, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a tiled shower room. Allocated parking and visitor spaces add practical convenience in a tucked-away cul-de-sac.
Practical points are straightforward: long lease (c.977 years remaining from a 2004 grant), a below-average service charge (£900 pa), and no onward chain. The property is presented in average, serviceable condition with double glazing; the decking and waterside aspect are strong selling points for buyers wanting a low-maintenance, light-filled home or a lettable waterside asset.
Buyers should note a couple of material issues: council tax is Band E (above average) and records include conflicting heating information — the listing mentions a Worcester combi boiler and gas central heating, while other data records show electricity as main fuel and electric room heaters. Prospective purchasers should verify the heating type and running costs. The surrounding area is classified as having a mix of highly qualified professionals yet shows higher local deprivation indices — useful context for investors assessing rental demand.
Overall this flat will suit first-time buyers, downsizers seeking easy-care waterside living, or buy-to-let investors who value the panoramic bay views and private outdoor space. The property’s compact footprint and modest room sizes mean it’s best for buyers who prioritise location and outlook over generous internal floor area.
