Top-floor open-plan living with high ceilings and dual-aspect windows
New carpets and freshly redecorated throughout, move-in ready
Designated off-street parking space and communal grounds
Leasehold — 107 years remaining; ground rent £140 per year
Monthly service charge reportedly includes water, electric and buildings insurance
Small overall size (492 sqft) — compact two-bed duplex
Slow broadband speeds locally; area has high crime statistics
Area classified as very deprived — impacts resale and amenities
This recently renovated two-bedroom duplex apartment offers bright, low-maintenance living ideal for a first-time buyer seeking move-in readiness and strong nearby leisure options. The upside-down layout places the open-plan kitchen and living area on the top floor, where dual-aspect windows and high ceilings deliver abundant natural light and a sense of space. New carpets and fresh decoration mean little immediate work is required inside.
Practical benefits include a designated off-street parking space, communal grounds, and an internal cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine. The property sits close to Kenfig Nature Reserve, Pyle & Kenfig Golf Course and Porthcawl’s coast, providing easy weekend escapes while the M4 and Pyle train station support commuting.
Important considerations are factual and significant: the apartment is leasehold with 107 years remaining, a ground rent of £140 and a monthly service charge that reportedly covers water, electricity and buildings insurance. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and local crime and deprivation statistics are high — factors to weigh for personal safety and reselling potential.
Overall, this compact 492 sqft home suits buyers who want a ready-to-live-in starter property with low internal maintenance, convenient parking and strong access to coastal amenities. It may particularly appeal to buyers prepared to accept local area challenges in exchange for affordability and convenience.
