Set on the popular Gwendraeth View in Carmarthen Bay, this three-bedroom detached chalet offers a ready-to-use holiday base with off-road parking and a rear patio. At 414 sq ft the layout is compact but efficiently arranged: open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, three small bedrooms and a bathroom. The chalet is immaculately presented and offered as seen, with low running costs (Council Tax Band A) and phase 1 fees paid through end of 2025.
Important practical points are clear and factual: the chalet is leasehold with 41 years remaining and a fixed ground rent of £6 and a service charge of £123.17 (subject to 5% compounded increases every five years). Mortgage lenders are likely to refuse lending on a short lease — this property will suit cash buyers, existing holiday-park investors, or those able to take specialist finance. The construction is non-traditional, which can limit mortgage and insurance options.
Local amenities favour a holiday lifestyle: beach access, park facilities (seasonal opening), and very low local crime. Downsides to check: broadband is very slow, the area is flagged as very deprived, and a prior park note indicates potential coastal flood risk and local mining history — buyers should request flood and mining reports and review the lease covenants before committing.
This chalet represents an affordable entry into Carmarthen Bay holiday ownership — good for seasonal rental or private use — but its short lease, specialist construction and service-charge profile make it unsuitable for conventional mortgage buyers without further due diligence.
