Description

This three-storey freehold property presents a compelling opportunity for those seeking a renovation project or an investment with significant potential. Currently configured with retail space on the ground floor and office/storage areas above, the building’s layout is conducive to various development options, including possible residential conversion, subject to the necessary planning approvals. Located on Holton Road, one of Barry's main retail corridors, this property benefits from high foot traffic and visibility. The surrounding area features a mix of independent retailers alongside well-known national brands such as Boots, Greggs, and Poundland, ensuring a strong tenant demand. Accessibility is another advantage; the property is conveniently positioned near the A4055 arterial route and just a short distance from Barry Island and the A4232, which connects to the M4 motorway. The building itself includes a spacious ground-floor retail unit equipped with laminate flooring and an inviting shopfront complete with automatic doors. Above, the first floor houses a kitchen along with two offices or ancillary storage spaces. The second floor consists of additional storage areas that currently require refurbishment—ideal for customization based on future use plans. Externally, there is rear access leading to an enclosed area secured by palisade fencing, adding an element of security and practicality for business operations or future developments. With a total net internal area of approximately 1,614 sq ft (149.9 sq m), this property's size allows for flexible redevelopment opportunities that can cater to current market demands. The presence of mains water and electricity adds to its functionality; however, potential investors should independently assess all utilities. A review of local planning policies indicates that existing uses are compliant; thus, prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their due diligence regarding any intended changes or enhancements. This property stands out not only for its prime location but also for its investment potential in a thriving retail environment poised for further growth.
