Location - Regular and direct train services from Cardiff Central, several main road links to surrounding towns and easy access to M4 corridor. Cardiff Aiport is juts 4 miles away.

Cardiff itself is one of the UK's fastest growing cities, and has a global reputation for sporting and music events, there is also a hugely regenerated Cardiff Bay area subject to much redevelopment.

Local Information - The iconic 'Merrie Friars' building has stood proudly above the beach at Whitmore Bay for almost a century. One of the earliest buildings to accompany the fairground along the esplanade, its striking Art-Deco infused classical façade in brilliant masonry, contributes to the prominence as a keynote building.

Over the years it has played host as a café, dance hall, gym and amusement arcade with purveyors of fine confectionery delighting the countless visitors. Situated close to Friar's Point on the western side of the beach, there are expansive views across the bay and promenade gardens.

The sensitive restoration will give a commanding refresh to the Merrie Friars building, and as Elysium, the residents will enjoy an impressive internal transformation.
