The postcode covers 1.6 hectares and supports a population of 1,049 people. This small area lies near coordinates 51.472729, -3.158973, positioned within the CF10 postcode area of Cardiff. Living in CF10 4TS means residing in a neighbourhood defined by its origins as working docks, shipping offices, and a multi-ethnic community that later regenerated into a modern waterfront district. The area sits near Cardiff Bay, where the development history includes significant landmarks like the Pierhead Building and the Coal Exchange. Today, this residential cluster offers proximity to major regeneration projects such as the Cardiff Bay Barrage and the Millennium Centre. Homes here benefit from the legacy of the 2nd Marquis of Bute, whose creation of West Bute Dock shaped the local landscape over 180 years ago.

The housing stock in CF10 4TS is distinctively characterised by flats, which form the primary accommodation type for this 1.6-hectare cluster. With a recorded home ownership rate of only 27%, the area functions more as a rental market than an owner-occupied estate. This low ownership figure suggests that many homes in CF10 4TS are let to tenants, often appealing to professionals working in nearby Cardiff Bay. The demographic profile, with a median age of 47 and most residents falling into the 30-64 year range, aligns with the typical profile of renters seeking flat-based living close to work. Buyers looking at this specific postcode should anticipate a landscape where leasehold flats dominate, rather than freehold family homes or detached houses. The small area size limits the variety of property types to what fits within this dense residential cluster near the waterfront. If you are considering purchasing homes in CF10 4TS, you must navigate a market where rental demand drives prices more than buyer ownership trends. The area offers immediate access to the modernised district that replaced the former docks, though the ownership statistics indicate limited opportunity for new freehold accumulation within these specific boundaries.
