Penstone Court, Cardiff, CF10

This bright and spacious waterside duplex has spectacular views across Penarth and Cardiff. Newly decorated and beautifully presented it has two full width outside spaces: A balcony and a spacious terrace.

The living and dining room is unusually generous, with two sets of doors opening onto the full-width balcony. From here, the views stretch across the water towards Penarth, and the westerly aspect brings plenty of afternoon and evening light. It is an easy space to settle into, whether that means coffee outside on a summer morning, working from home at one end of the room, or sitting out with a drink while the sun goes down.

The second terrace is accessed from the bedroom level, giving the two double bedrooms their own outdoor connection. The main bedroom has its own doors onto the terrace and a walk in wardrobe, alongside a sizeable en suite shower room with twin basins. Bedroom two is also a proper double with built in storage, while the separate bathroom includes a Jacuzzi bath.

The split-level layout makes the apartment feel more like a home than a conventional apartment. Bedrooms sit quietly downstairs, while the main living space occupies the upper level, creating a natural separation between day and night. Underfloor heating runs throughout, while double glazing helps keep things comfortable through the colder months.

The kitchen sits neatly off the living space and has been designed for actual day to day use, with granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances including a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher, washer/drier, fridge/freezer and microwave. There is plenty of room to cook without being disconnected from the rest of the home.

Century Wharf has gated access, an allocated secure undercroft parking space, visitor parking, a 24 hour concierge and communal leisure facilities including an indoor swimming pool, gym and jacuzzi to make everyday life here a little more luxurious.

Location is a big part of the appeal. Mermaid Quay and the waterfront are within walking distance, with restaurants, bars, coffee shops and everyday essentials close at hand. Cardiff city centre is easily accessible, while regular bus services and the nearby train station give you alternatives to driving. Penarth is also just a short journey away, making it easy to move between city life, the Bay and the quieter pace across the water.

Most of all, this is a home that changes with the seasons. Winter brings a cosy, generous living space with the water still visible beyond the glass. Summer moves life outdoors, with two terraces offering somewhere to sit, watch the boats, catch the evening light and simply slow down.

The sellers have loved the convenience of being able to walk to the Bay and Mermaid Quay, but it is those views and the pleasure of sitting outside with a morning coffee or evening drink that they will miss most.
