Summary - 6, PICTON AVENUE CF36 3AJ
5 bed 1 bath Terraced
Spacious Victorian terrace with balcony and Bristol Channel views, needs full modernisation..
Five bedrooms plus attic room across three storeys
A substantial five-bedroom Victorian terrace occupying an enviable position adjacent to Porthcawl seafront, with a balcony and bay windows that capture wide views across the Bristol Channel. The house retains period character — high ceilings, fireplaces and ironwork — and offers generous internal space across three storeys plus attic. Freehold tenure and proximity to the town centre make it a practical family base or a holiday-let candidate.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: dated 1980s living areas, older bathroom fittings and general cosmetic renewal are all apparent. Internally there is a ground-floor bathroom, a separate shower room and WC upstairs, but fixtures and finishes will need updating to modern standards. The rear garden is small and mostly paved; there is a narrow front garden and rear lane access only.
Important practical points: the area has high crime rates and is classified as very deprived, and Council Tax Band F is comparatively expensive. On the positive side the plot is freehold, mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are fast — useful for remote working or short-term rentals. Buyers should expect renovation costs and obtain surveys before committing.
This house suits an active family or an investor prepared to refurbish: keep the period features and restore internal spaces to maximise the sea-front location, or remodel to create contemporary open-plan living. The location beside the promenade and short walk to Porthcawl town centre are the property’s strongest selling points.
