Set back from the road with off-street parking for two cars, this semi-detached 1930s house delivers generous living space across two storeys. Tall ceilings and a bay-fronted living room lead through to a dining room with French doors opening onto a large patio and an enclosed rear garden — ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, plus a family bathroom. The layout is straightforward and family-friendly; a stained-glass window on the landing and original brick accents add period character. The property benefits from double glazing and new carpets throughout, and is offered freehold and chain free.
Practical links are a real selling point: walking distance to Porthcawl town centre and multiple beaches, with quick access to the M4 between Cardiff and Swansea. Total internal area is approximately 1,324 sq ft, giving scope for modest extension or reconfiguration subject to planning.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property sits in a very deprived area with higher crime rates and an above-average council tax band. The cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and the house may need energy-efficiency upgrades. There is a single bathroom for three bedrooms and some rooms may benefit from modernisation to maximise value.
