Read the full agent description
This impressive property was comprehensively renovated throughout and finished to an exceptional standard with works completed in December 2023.
An attractive entrance porch with William Morris wallpaper and period inspired detailing leads into an impressive hallway, where high ceilings, restored period features and carefully selected finishes create a welcoming introduction to the home.
Leading from the hall are two reception rooms, each centred around a beautiful Victorian fireplace, with a distinctive internal hatch between the spaces adding to their individual character.
To the rear, the superb open-plan kitchen/diner creates a generous and versatile space. The kitchen is finished to a high specification with integrated appliances and a substantial central island incorporating drawer units, ceramic hob and extractor. Appliances include a conventional fan oven with slide-and-hide door, additional microwave/grill oven with warming drawer and dishwasher. The dining area features French doors opening out to the patio.
The rear garden provides a private and enclosed courtyard with newly laid patio and well-stocked planters. A further side door leads to an additional outdoor area, providing useful extra space for family use.
A particularly valuable feature of the property is the private off-road parking to the rear, accessed via the rear lane. The allocated parking area also offers potential to accommodate additional vehicles or garden space. Dedicated private parking in such close proximity to Porthcawl seafront is a significant advantage.
The first floor continues the property’s blend of period character and modern quality, with beautifully restored bannisters and new radiators. There are three generous double bedrooms on this level, together with the main bathroom.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, positioned to the front of the property with a large bay window and door opening directly onto the balcony, providing views towards the sea. A second double bedroom is currently used as a studio, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation, while a further double bedroom completes this level.
The top floor provides two further generous double bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family, guests or additional living space. A further shower room completes the accommodation, with a bath or shower room conveniently positioned on each level of the house.
Porthcawl’s promenade, beaches and town centre are all within easy reach, together with a wide choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and local amenities. Junction 37 of the M4 is approximately three miles away, with Pyle mainline railway station providing a further useful transport connection.
Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property, comprehensively renovated while retaining the charm, proportions and architectural detail of its original era.
