Third-floor sea-view flat with balcony, parking and lift — ideal coastal starter or buy-to-let..
Sea-front apartment with private balcony and seaside views
Perched on Porthcawl’s seafront, this one-bedroom apartment delivers genuine coastal living with a private balcony and sea views. The open-plan living room and fitted kitchen make the most of the space, and an allocated, gated parking space plus lift access add everyday convenience. The flat is offered chain-free and is ready to occupy or let immediately.
Practical costs and tenure are important here: the property is leasehold with 102 years remaining, a service charge of £2,818 pa and a ground rent of £100 pa. Heating is by electric room heaters; there’s no communal gas supply. EPC rated C and double-glazed windows help energy performance but heating costs should be considered.
This suite will suit a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance coastal home or an investor targeting seaside rentals. The building is centrally located for shops, bars, theatre and the pier — strong tenant demand is likely. Be aware the local area records higher-than-average crime and very high area deprivation, which may affect resale values and some mortgage lending criteria.
Overall, the flat offers immediate seafront appeal, secure parking and good broadband/mobile connectivity, balanced by notable service charges, electric heating and local area challenges. Prospective buyers and lenders should review lease and running costs before committing.
