About
Located in a prime position directly on Porthcawl seafront within one of the town’s most iconic Victorian buildings, 5 Westward Ho, Esplanade is beautifully presented and spacious one‐bedroom apartment boasting truly extraordinary sea views that are enjoyed from both the principal reception room and bedroom.
Perfectly located for easy access to the seafront promenade, beaches, harbour, town centre, and a wide range of local amenities, this superb apartment offers an enviable coastal lifestyle and would suit first‐time buyers, investors, downsizers, or anyone seeking a well‐positioned home with breathtaking outlooks.
The property is entered into a spacious entrance hallway providing excellent coat, bag and general storage, including built‐in cupboards, with a step rising to the main apartment landing which itself offers further storage potential or space for a desk or study area.
From here, doors lead to the bedroom, lounge, kitchen‐diner, bathroom, separate WC, and an additional useful storage cupboard.
The lounge is an impressive and generously sized reception room laid to carpet, offering ample space for furniture and featuring a large double‐glazed window to the front which perfectly frames the exceptional sea views that can be enjoyed even from a seated position and truly must be seen to be fully appreciated.
The kitchen‐diner is a well‐proportioned and practical space fitted with a matching range of base and eye‐level units with rolled worktop surfaces, a stainless‐steel sink with mixer tap, built‐in oven with four‐burner gas hob, tiled splashbacks, space for a fridge‐freezer and additional white goods, and housing the combination style boiler, all complemented by ample storage and a dedicated dining area.
A side‐facing window allows natural light to fill the space.
The bedroom is a spacious double room laid to carpet and benefits from built‐in wardrobes, a useful alcove, and a large double‐glazed front window offering the same stunning panoramic sea view providing a rare opportunity to wake up to the coastline from the comfort of your own bed.
The bathroom is fitted with a four‐piece suite comprising a low‐level WC, vanity wash hand basin, bidet, and panelled bath with shower attachment, finished with half‐tiled walls and full panelling within the wet areas, and a Velux window providing light and ventilation.
Adjacent to the bathroom is a separate WC, offering added convenience when the bathroom is in use.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a character apartment in one of Porthcawl’s most recognisable seafront buildings, offering spectacular views, generous accommodation, and an unbeatable coastal location.
