Summary - 24 FENTON PLACE PORTHCAWL CF36 3DW
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable seafront access and private parking for first-time buyers.
Two-bedroom first-floor flat in Edwardian terraced house
This two-bedroom first-floor flat sits in an Edwardian terrace within easy walking distance of Porthcawl town centre and the promenade — a practical choice for a first-time buyer seeking seafront convenience without premium pricing. The accommodation feels light and traditional, with a bay-fronted lounge, feature log burner, and a versatile attic room that adds valuable floor space for an office or guest area.
The kitchen/diner opens onto a roof verandah, and there is a private parking space to the rear — helpful extras in a town-centre location. The property is leasehold with approximately 900 years remaining and a low Council Tax band B, making running costs relatively modest. Fitted gas boiler and modern laminate floors in key rooms reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Notable practical points are made plainly: the flat is accessed via a communal entrance and staircases to the first and attic levels, so it is not step-free. The second bedroom is compact and the bathroom and separate WC are functional rather than luxurious. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with a higher local crime level, which prospective buyers should factor into affordability and resale considerations.
Overall this is an affordable, characterful home with scope to personalise and improve. It will suit a buyer prioritising location and value — particularly a first-time buyer or commuter wanting quick access to town and seafront amenities — who is comfortable with stairs and the local area profile.
