It can be a challenge to find parcels of vacant land within sought after suburbs in popular seaside locations to develop into your dream home, so maybe the way to go is to find a former commercial or business premises and, if planning allows, convert that into your new abode.
On the corner of two residential roads in the sunny seaside town of Porthcawl that is exactly what has happened. The former doctors' surgery site, including two Victorian villas at the front and an annexe at the rear, went to auction with Paul Fosh in June 2020. After an online bidding war between two very keen, anonymous participants, one secured the whole site up for £440,5000 with only 13 seconds to go before the end of the auction.
The main surgery building was arranged over three floors and was previously two large semi-detached Victorian houses, with an additional detached building to the rear, arranged over two floors.
