Ideal affordable starter home or buy-to-let with included running costs.
Upside-down open-plan living with raised ceiling on first floor
This compact one-bedroom cluster house offers an efficient, newly refreshed home or rental in North Cornelly. The upside-down layout places a light, airy open-plan living/dining/kitchen on the first floor with a raised ceiling, while the bedroom, bathroom and utility cupboard sit to the ground floor. Recent redecoration and new fitted carpets mean the property is move-in ready.
The sale is leasehold and carries a significant service charge of approximately £2,920–£3,480 per year (listed at £290/month), which covers gas heating, electricity, water, window cleaning and outside maintenance under the community scheme. One allocated off-street parking space is included. At around 410 sq ft, the apartment is small but suited to a single occupant, couple or investor targeting local demand.
Location is convenient for the M4 (J37) and the coastal town of Porthcawl, with Kenfig Reserve a short drive away. Practical drawbacks to note: the area has higher crime and marked deprivation indicators, and broadband speeds are slow. These local factors may affect resale or rental expectations and should be weighed against the low asking price and modest council tax band.
Overall, this property represents an affordable entry into the local market with low immediate maintenance needs and predictable running costs included in the service charge. It will suit first-time buyers or landlords seeking a straightforward let, provided the leasehold terms, service charge level and local area characteristics fit the buyers plans.
