It also has a small workshop/store and there is pedestrian access to a gated rear vehicular lane. Parking is on-street (with permits). The Council Tax Band is E. The EPC rating is D and Natural Resources Wales considers the flood risk in the area as Very Low.

Local amenities are comprehensive, and include shops, stores and supermarkets, junior and senior schools that include a popular Welsh-language primary school, parks and leisure facilities that include the lovely Roath Park and its famous lake, Heath Park, and Maindy Leisure Centre, a local Post Office and Library. Nearby Whitchurch Road has fast become well-known as a hub of local restaurants, bistros, cafes and coffee shops, and there are popular pubs close-by too.
