Guide Price* : £180,000+

Description

A substantial semi detached freehold Victorian property situated in the heart of Tonyrefail village, offering a versatile mix of commercial and residential accommodation with strong income generation and further development potential. Access is available via the front, side, and rear, providing convenience for all areas of the building. The property is well-maintained throughout and we have been informed of no service charge. The residential elements of the building were comprehensively refurbished in 2016, including installation of new windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, and boilers throughout.

The ground floor commercial unit currently operating as a general store with prominent street presence, including large display windows and direct pavement access. A one bedroom flat occupying the rear part of the ground floor, features include a modern open-plan kitchen/living area and private enclosed garden. Two bedroom flat occupying the entire first floor, kitchen and bathroom benefiting from generous room proportions and natural light from bay windows, with potential for rental uplift through minor enhancements. There is a detached coach house to the rear currently under utilised but offering excellent potential for conversion into a 1-bedroom dwelling, studio apartment, or commercial space (subject to planning consents) and features its own independent entrance.

Tonyrefail is a popular village in Rhondda Cynon Taff, offering good local amenities including shops, schools, and public transport links to nearby Porth and Pontypridd. The property benefits from a central position on Collenna Road, with on-street parking and proximity to major roads like the A4119 for access to Cardiff (approximately 15 miles south).

The property is sold subject to the existing tenancies for the shop and two flats, with vacant possession of the coach house. For any clarification on tenancies or lease details please refer to the legal pack once available.

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
