West Farm Road, Bridgend, CF32
It is the setting and exceptional plot that truly set this spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow apart. With open farmland views to the front and uninterrupted sea views to the rear, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection to the surrounding landscape. The adjoining common land ensures the outlook feels wonderfully open, creating a position that would be difficult to replicate.
Situated in the highly desirable coastal village of Ogmore-by-Sea, the bungalow offers an exciting opportunity for someone looking to create a home entirely around their own vision. Although the property is currently occupied and liveable, it now requires complete refurbishment and modernisation throughout. Its generous plot and spacious existing footprint offer fantastic potential to redesign, extend or possibly develop upwards into the roof space, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.
Approached from West Farm Road, the property immediately enjoys an attractive outlook across the surrounding farmland. A private driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the single garage, while the enclosed front garden sets the bungalow comfortably back within its plot, with access available around the side of the property to the rear garden.
Stepping inside, the entrance hallway provides access to the principal rooms and includes useful built-in storage together with a loft hatch, highlighting the potential offered by the roof space above.
The kitchen is positioned at the front of the bungalow, looking out towards the farmland. It is currently fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces, a pantry and an additional storage cupboard, with space for freestanding appliances. Although ready for complete updating, the room provides an excellent starting point for creating a more contemporary kitchen designed to suit the next owner’s individual needs.
The generously proportioned L-shaped lounge and dining room offers plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining. Windows to the front bring in natural light, while floor-to-ceiling sliding doors draw your attention towards the rear of the property and its spectacular coastal outlook. From here, the room flows into the sunroom, allowing the sea views to become a constant part of everyday life.
Imagine enjoying a morning coffee while watching the changing light across the water, spending summer afternoons with the doors open to the garden or settling down in the evening as the sun begins to disappear over the coastline. With automatic skylight windows and patio doors opening directly outside, the sunroom provides a wonderful link between the home, garden and sea beyond.
The principal bedroom is another particularly special room, with two large picture windows framing beautiful, direct sea views. Waking up to this outlook each morning is a privilege few homes can offer. The bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room.
There are two further bedrooms, including a second double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a third single bedroom that could also work well as a home office, nursery or occasional guest room. The main bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a bath, separate corner shower, wash hand basin and WC.
Outside, the rear garden is where the full appeal of this remarkable plot can be appreciated. Generous in size and enclosed for privacy, it includes a raised patio that provides a natural place for outdoor furniture, summer dining and entertaining while taking in the uninterrupted sea views. The remainder of the garden is laid mainly to lawn, offering plenty of scope for landscaping, family life or the creation of a truly impressive coastal garden.
A gate leads out towards the adjoining common land, further enhancing the property’s feeling of openness and its connection to the surrounding scenery. Whether sitting quietly in the garden, entertaining friends or simply watching the weather roll in across the water, this is an outlook that will continue to change with the seasons but never lose its impact.
Ogmore-by-Sea is positioned along the beautiful western coastline of the Vale of Glamorgan, surrounded by a mixture of sandy and stony beaches, coastal paths and dramatic countryside. From the village, panoramic views stretch across the Bristol Channel towards the Devon and Somerset coastline, with Porthcawl and the Gower Peninsula also visible along the Welsh coast.
The village offers a post office, restaurant and everyday amenities, while primary schooling is available in nearby St Brides Major and secondary schooling in Cowbridge. Bridgend and Cowbridge are both within comfortable driving distance, providing a wider selection of shops, leisure facilities and services. Bridgend also offers a mainline railway station, while convenient access to the A48 and Junction 36 of the M4 makes travel towards Cardiff, Swansea and surrounding areas straightforward.
This is far more than a bungalow in need of refurbishment; it is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home on a generous coastal plot, with farmland to one side and uninterrupted sea views to the other. For the right buyer, it provides the space, setting and potential to create an exceptional forever home in one of the Vale of Glamorgan’s most desirable coastal villages.
