About

Offering a living room, modern kitchen, double bedroom and shower room, with parking and communal gardens. Share of freehold with long lease. No onward chain.
Close to amenities, transport links and the A470/M4.
Set within a detached, purpose-built development on the fringes of Whitchurch village, Flat 3, The Willows presents an attractive opportunity to acquire a well-appointed first-floor apartment in a highly convenient yet peaceful setting.
The property is accessed via a well-maintained communal entrance hall, leading to a private entrance hall which provides a welcoming introduction to the accommodation.
The living room offers a comfortable and light-filled space, complemented by a modern fitted kitchen designed with both practicality and style in mind.
The apartment further comprises a generous double bedroom and a contemporary shower room, all presented to a pleasing standard throughout.
The property benefits from gas central heating via a combination boiler, uPVC double glazing, residents’ parking available on a first come, first served basis, and the use of communal gardens which provide a pleasant outdoor environment.
Of particular note is the tenure arrangement, with the apartment held on a leasehold basis but with each owner enjoying a 25% share of the freehold.
This structure affords a rare degree of control and transparency over maintenance, insurance and management decisions, alongside the reassurance of a lease with well in excess of 900 years remaining.
The property also carries an EPC rating of C.
The Willows enjoys a desirable position on the outskirts of Whitchurch village, within easy walking distance of a wide range of local amenities including independent shops, cafés, restaurants and well-regarded schools, together with excellent public transport links.
The nearby A470 and M4 motorway provide swift access to Cardiff city centre and the wider region, making this an ideal location for commuters.
Whitchurch is widely regarded as one of North Cardiff’s most sought-after residential suburbs, prized for its strong sense of community, attractive tree-lined streets and blend of period charm and modern convenience.
The village atmosphere, combined with an excellent selection of amenities and green spaces, continues to attract a diverse range of buyers from professionals to downsizers alike.
Cardiff itself is a dynamic and fast-growing capital city, offering an exceptional quality of life with a vibrant cultural scene, renowned sporting venues and an expanding business sector.
Its excellent transport connections, including direct rail services to Bristol and London, further enhance its appeal as both a place to live and work, while ongoing investment and development continue to strengthen its position as one of the UK’s most exciting regional cities.
The property is offered to the market with no onward chain. All enquiries and viewings are strictly via the sole selling agents, Chambers Estate Agents, Whitchurch’s agent of choice since 1992.
