Bright ground-floor living by the sea makes this two-bedroom apartment an attractive option for first-time buyers or those downsizing. Located a short walk from Porthcawl’s beaches and Newton village, the flat offers two reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen and private outdoor spaces — a paved terrace and a rear courtyard — useful for summer evenings and light gardening.
Practical benefits include off-street parking for one car, a long lease (999 years) with a peppercorn ground rent and chain-free sale, allowing a straightforward move. The apartment’s 864 sq ft layout feels spacious for its type, with good natural light through large windows and a traditional internal arrangement that suits flexible living or home working.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation, and the EPC is rated E — heating costs may be above modern standards. The area records higher local crime and significant deprivation indicators, which may affect resale or rental demand for some buyers. The property is leasehold, includes a single bathroom and occupies a neighbourhood context rather than panoramic coastal views.
Overall, this property offers seaside proximity, outdoor space and parking in a long-lease home. It will suit buyers prepared to accept older construction and energy uplift work, or investors targeting affordable coastal accommodation with potential for improvement.
