High Street, Treorchy, Rhondda, Cynon, Taff, CF42 6AS

MIXED-USE INVESTMENT & BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY – RETAIL PREMISES WITH TWO TWO-BEDROOM FLATS An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial mixed-use property occupying a prominent position within Treorchy’s award-winning town centre, comprising extensive ground-floor commercial accommodation together with two spacious two-bedroom residential flats above. Treorchy was named the UK’s High Street of the Year in the Great British High Street Awards 2019, receiving national recognition for its strong independent business community, innovation and community-led approach to supporting the town centre. The property offers an attractive proposition for investors, developers and owner-occupiers, with the combination of commercial and residential accommodation providing the potential for multiple income streams. Ground Floor Commercial Premises Previously operated as a pet shop, the ground-floor commercial unit is currently vacant, allowing a purchaser or new occupier to consider a range of potential uses. The premises benefit from a wide glazed shop frontage, providing excellent visibility and display space onto the main shopping area, together with security shutters and a security system. Internally, the commercial accommodation is considerably larger than the shop frontage may initially suggest, extending through the building to provide two generous storage areas, further shelved storage, kitchen facilities with water and electricity, WC facilities and additional ancillary accommodation. This flexible arrangement provides excellent back-of-house facilities for retail, storage, preparation or other commercial requirements. Excellent Rear Access & Further Potential A particularly useful feature is the substantial rear access incorporating a large roller-shutter door, providing convenient access for deliveries, stock and servicing of the commercial premises. The rear area adds another dimension to the property. Subject to planning and all necessary statutory consents, a future owner may wish to investigate whether this space could be incorporated into an alternative commercial concept or potentially provide an outside courtyard/seating area to complement a hospitality business. Potential Café, Restaurant or Hospitality Use For entrepreneurs looking beyond conventional retail, the size and configuration of the premises could offer an exciting opportunity to explore alternative uses such as a café, coffee shop, restaurant, bar or other hospitality-led business. The combination of a prominent frontage, substantial internal accommodation, kitchen and ancillary areas, rear servicing access and potential external space could make the building particularly interesting for this type of venture. Any change of use or hospitality operation would be subject to the appropriate planning permission, licensing, building regulations and other statutory consents, and interested parties should make their own enquiries with the relevant authorities. Two Two-Bedroom Residential Flats In addition to the extensive commercial accommodation, the property includes two generously proportioned two-bedroom residential flats above. The residential element significantly enhances the property's investment appeal and provides purchasers with a range of options. An investor could potentially benefit from separate residential and commercial income streams, while an owner-occupier may choose to establish their own business within the ground floor premises while retaining the flats as residential investments. Investment & Development Potential What makes this property particularly interesting is its flexibility. Rather than simply acquiring a vacant shop, purchasers are acquiring a substantial mixed-use building incorporating retail space, extensive ancillary accommodation, storage facilities, rear access and two residential units, all within an established town-centre location. Whether purchased as a mixed-use investment, owner-operated business premises or a longer-term development opportunity, the property offers considerable scope for an incoming purchaser to create a scheme suited to their own requirements, subject to the necessary consents. Potential Business & Regeneration Funding Prospective purchasers establishing or expanding a business within the premises may also wish to investigate business, town-centre and property improvement funding available through Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and other funding programmes. Any grants or financial assistance will be subject to the particular scheme being open at the time of application, the applicant and property meeting the eligibility criteria, and formal approval being obtained before qualifying works commence. Viewing Highly Recommended With its prominent position, extensive commercial accommodation, two residential flats, substantial rear access and potential for a variety of future uses, this is a property that needs to be viewed to fully appreciate its scale and versatility. An exciting proposition for investors, developers and business owners seeking a mixed-use property with both immediate and longer-term potential in the heart of Treorchy. View Less
