Summary - 17 GER Y LYN PORTHCAWL CF36 5ND
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable two-bedroom flat near town and beach, ideal for first-time buyers.
Open-plan lounge and kitchen with good natural light
This well-presented two-bedroom apartment in Ger-Y-Lyn, Porthcawl offers a compact, modern living space within easy reach of the town centre and seafront. The open-plan lounge and kitchen give a bright, usable living area, with two good-sized bedrooms and a shower room suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking low-maintenance accommodation. Allocated off-street parking and secure intercom entry add everyday convenience.
Practical details support straightforward ownership: mains gas central heating, double glazing installed post-2002, and a very long lease (961 years). The communal block is of 1980s construction with modest communal grounds and low-maintenance exterior. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which helps if you work from home occasionally.
Be aware of a few trade-offs. The overall living space is small (about 519 sq ft) so storage and layout should be checked against your needs. Service charges average £1,282 per year and the property is leasehold; confirm the current ground rent and any planned major works. The wider area is classed as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale dynamics, although local amenities, transport links (A48/M4) and seaside appeal support rental demand.
One practical note: the listing information contains conflicting floor details (described as second-floor in some places, ground-floor in others). Prospective buyers should confirm the flat’s exact floor position and communal access at viewing. Overall, this apartment represents an affordable entry point to Porthcawl living for buyers prioritising location, low upkeep, and seaside access.
