Porthcawl is a popular seaside resort in South Wales. Bridgend County Borough Council is in the early stages of drawing up ambitious regeneration plans to create a new marina development and sea defences in Porthcawl, which when completed will make the marina one of the biggest in the Bristol Channel area. As a result of the forthcoming regeneration, and its increasing popularity as a commuter town, estate agents in Porthcawl have witnessed house prices increasing by 27 per cent more than any other seaside town in the country. There is a variety of property for sale in Porthcawl, including a number of popular new developments of apartments, with views over the channel and across the heritage coast. There is also a good choice of houses for sale in Porthcawl; semi-detached 1930s family homes close to the seafront, traditional stone coach houses, and modern detached executive style family houses.
