5 bed detached house for sale

South Road, Porthcawl CF36

Herbert R Thomas are delighted to present this traditional detached property, dating back to the early 1900s and sympathetically extended over the years. Now offering five double bedrooms, an impressive kitchen–diner, and set on approximately 0.338 acres with a substantial rear garden, this home also benefits from ample off-road parking. The property enjoys a prime central Porthcawl location, just moments from the town centre, seafront, beaches, and excellent transport links.

The property is entered via a partly glazed PVC door into an entrance porch with a side window, providing useful storage space. A beautiful stained-glass window and internal door lead into the inner hallway, which features ornate tiled flooring and a staircase rising to the first floor. From here, there is access to the lounge, dining room, sitting room, and an additional reception room connecting to the kitchen–diner, utility room, and pantry.
The lounge is a generously sized room, laid to carpet, with a feature gas fireplace and a box bay window, retaining many original features. The dining room is another spacious reception area with wooden floorboards and twin double-glazed windows to the front.
The sitting room offers a cosy yet social space, with an archway opening through to the impressive kitchen–diner. The kitchen is fitted with a matching range of base and eye-level units topped with granite work surfaces and features a 1.5-bowl sink with mixer tap, gas hob with extractor fan, high-level double oven, integral tower fridge, under-counter freezer, and dishwasher. Ample storage cupboards are provided, and natural light floods the room via double-glazed PVC and Velux windows to the rear. The kitchen–diner also benefits from underfloor heating and has space for both dining and lounge furniture, with French doors leading out to the garden.
The additional reception room offers flexible use as an extended lounge, dining space, or home office, with doors to the pantry and utility room. The pantry is particularly generous, with base and eye-level units, shelving, and storage beneath the staircase. The utility room is laid to tiled flooring with a polycarbonate roof and PVC doors to the front and rear and includes built-in wooden worktops, a large Belfast sink, and space for two appliances, plus ample additional storage. From here, a door leads to the ground floor shower room, fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a walk-in shower, low-level WC, pedestal wash hand basin, and an obscure-glass window to the rear.

The first-floor landing provides access to four bedrooms, the bathroom, a separate WC, and the attic bedroom.
The main bedroom is a spacious double with built-in wardrobes and a boxed bay window to the front, offering views over the playing fields. Bedrooms two and four are further doubles, both with rear-facing windows overlooking the garden. Bedroom three is another double, positioned at the front.
The bathroom features a three-piece suite with a roll-top bath, walk-in shower, pedestal wash hand basin, chrome ladder radiator, and obscure-glass side window. The separate WC is located next door.
The attic bedroom provides an additional double room with elevated views over the garden, built-in storage, and an en-suite shower room with WC. A Velux rear window and eaves storage complete the space.

To the front, a tarmac driveway provides off-road parking directly in front of the property. A substantial gated driveway extends along the other side, offering parking for multiple vehicles.
The rear garden is extensive with many different areas. There are sections of lawn with decorative interlocking pathways, patios and a garden pond. The well stocked plot is filled with flowers, shrubs and an array of fruit trees. There is a separate allotment area tucked away at the bottom of the garden. The garden also houses a large wooden shed/workshop benefiting from power, additional storage, and space for a chest freezer, a greenhouse and separate shed. The plot allows so much potential for any buyer.
