Set just a few hundred yards from Porthcawl promenade and the town centre, this traditional three-bedroom mid-terrace offers substantial living space and period character for a family seeking a convenient coastal location. The ground floor provides two reception rooms and a long 20' kitchen/breakfast room, while upstairs are three bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom — all arranged over an average-sized footprint with a small rear garden. A large rear garage with lane access is a practical bonus for storage or parking.
The house retains many period features such as leaded bay windows, coved ceilings and picture rails, and has been presented in good decorative order throughout. Heating is mains gas with a modern combi boiler and radiators. Practical touches include an enclosed porch, downstairs cloakroom and fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Broadband and mobile signal are strong in the area.
Buyers should note some material facts: the building’s solid brick construction likely has no cavity insulation, the plot is small and the property sits in a very deprived area with a recorded high local crime level. Council tax is above average (Band E). There is one family bathroom only. These points affect running costs, comfort and suitability for some buyers.
Overall this is a well-presented family home in a highly convenient seaside setting with scope for targeted improvements (insulation, cosmetic updating) to increase comfort and future value. It will suit buyers prioritising location, internal space and parking, while those seeking a large garden, quiet neighbourhood or low council tax may wish to look elsewhere.
