Set on Porthcawl seafront, this one-bedroom, chain-free apartment offers a bright open-plan living space and a dual-aspect balcony with sea views — ideal for downsizers seeking a compact coastal base close to town. The building is modern with lift access and secure gated undercroft parking (garage), plus long leasehold tenure (c. 978 years).
Internally the apartment benefits from full-height windows, double glazing, built-in kitchen appliances and useful storage off the hallway. The layout is straightforward for everyday living: a generous open-plan lounge/kitchen, a sizable bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a fully tiled shower room. Mobile signal and broadband are strong for streaming or working from home.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the property uses electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which may affect running costs. It is leasehold and additional leasehold-related fees (management/pack costs) could apply. The wider area is classified as ‘ageing urban communities’ with high local crime rates and significant deprivation — factors to consider for safety, insurance, and resale.
Overall, this apartment suits someone wanting low-maintenance coastal living within easy reach of Porthcawl’s amenities and transport links. It’s particularly well matched to downsizers or couples prioritising views, convenience and an accessible building, provided they accept electric heating and the local area profile.
