We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
George Thomas Close Located within the popular village of Nottage in the sought‐after seaside town of Porthcawl, this well presented and recently renovated two‐bedroom home is tucked away within a quiet and peaceful cul‐de‐sac, offering an excellent blend of lifestyle and convenience.
Ideally positioned within walking distance of Nottage green, Rest Bay Beach, Locks Lane playing fields, West Park Primary School, and a variety of local amenities, the property also benefits from close proximity to Porthcawl town centre, harbour, and seafront, along with excellent access to Junction 37 of the M4.
Offered to the market with no onward chain.
The property is entered via a partly glazed UPVC door into a welcoming entrance hallway laid to herringbone lvt flooring which continues throughout the entire ground floor, creating a stylish finish.
The kitchen is positioned to the front and has been fitted with a matching range of base and eye‐level units complemented by wooden worktops, a Belfast sink with extendable mixer tap, recently fitted oven, hob and extractor hood, and space for a freestanding fridge freezer and combination washing machine/tumble dryer, which are included in the sale.
Additional features include ample storage cupboards with corner carousel and glazed display units, sleek splashback tiling, and a double‐glazed window overlooking the green to the front, along with a useful serving hatch opening into the lounge.
The lounge is an impressive and versatile reception space originally designed as a lounge‐diner, offering ample room for furniture and benefiting from acoustic panelling, a modern radiator, and a carpeted staircase rising to the first floor.
A standout feature is the bespoke large arched glazed doorway leading into the conservatory, allowing for either open‐plan living or a more separate, cosy arrangement.
The conservatory is constructed with UPVC double glazing and a polycarbonate roof, equipped with lighting and an electric radiator for year‐round use, making it a highly adaptable space currently utilised as a dining area.
French doors open directly onto the landscaped westerly garden, flooding the space with natural light and enhancing the flow between indoor and outdoor living.
To the first floor, the landing provides access to a boarded loft for additional storage and doorways leading to two bedrooms and the bathroom.
The principal bedroom is a generous double laid to carpet with ample space for furniture and a dressing area, along with a large built‐in storage cupboard over the stairs with shelving and a rear‐facing double‐glazed window.
Bedroom two is a well‐proportioned single room, currently used as a home office/multipurpose space, with a front‐facing double‐glazed window.
The bathroom is modern and stylish, fitted with a three‐piece suite comprising a low‐level WC, vanity wash hand basin, and panelled bath with overhead shower and bifold glass screen, complemented by chevron‐style tiled walls, tiled flooring, a black matching radiator, and a touch‐sensitive illuminated mirror.
Externally, to the front of the property is a private shared driveway leading to a generous allocated parking bay, along with a small lawned garden and a sheltered entrance porch with sensor lighting.
To the rear, the fully enclosed landscaped garden enjoys a desirable south‐westerly aspect, allowing sunshine throughout the day and stunning evening sunsets.
The garden is thoughtfully designed with Indian sandstone patio, decorative chipping borders, solar lighting, a feature palm tree, and ample space for outdoor furniture and storage, along with gated access to the rear parking area.
This is a well finished home in a great coastal location, and early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
