Set on the first floor of a Victorian mid-terrace, this two-bedroom apartment sits within easy walking distance of Porthcawl town centre and the promenade, offering practical seaside living and excellent local amenities. The layout includes a generous lounge with bay window, a fitted kitchen with direct access to a private rear garden, bathroom plus separate WC, and a large loft room accessed by a pull-down ladder — useful extra space for storage or a hobby room.
Outdoor space and parking are standout benefits: a private rear garden with lane access and a sizeable garage with power and an electric door provide flexibility for parking, storage or workshop use. The property is chain-free and comes with a long lease (999 years from 1986, c.960 years remaining), simplifying purchasing for a first-time buyer or investor.
The flat is characterful but will suit someone prepared for modest updating. The building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls that likely lack modern insulation; some internal finishes (carpeted floors, dated kitchen and bathroom fittings) show their age. Owners share responsibility with the ground-floor owner for building maintenance under the lease, so prospective buyers should review the lease for costs and obligations.
Local context: the area is classified as ageing urban communities with high crime and very deprived local indicators — important factors for buyers to weigh. On the positive side, broadband and mobile connectivity are good and council tax is affordable (Band C). This apartment will appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers seeking proximity to the seafront, or investors after a centrally located, easy-to-rent property with garden and garage.
