This freehold mixed-use asset offers a ready-made, fully let income stream in a busy Crwys Road location. The ground-floor retail provides strong passing trade from a student and local customer base, while the recently refurbished two-bedroom flat above is already producing rental income. The site benefits from A1 and A3 use classes and no VAT on purchase, simplifying occupation or future re-letting.
The property totals c.2,155 sq ft across two floors with scope to extend the first-floor rear (described as possible in marketing). Good public transport links and proximity to Cardiff University support consistent demand for retail and residential lets. The mid-terrace shopfronts and rear lane access are practical for servicing and deliveries.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, and the plot is small with no private garden or external amenity. These traits are typical of high-footfall student neighbourhoods and will influence tenant profiles and management requirements.
This is a straightforward purchase for investors seeking a compact multi-let freehold in a student-driven parade, or for an owner-occupier wanting rental income downstairs. The combination of recent apartment refurbishment, flexible use classes, and potential to extend the first floor creates clear asset-management opportunities, balanced by the need for active on-site management given the local socioeconomic profile.
