Description

This semi-detached mixed-use property presents an enticing investment opportunity in a high-visibility location with substantial road frontage. The ground floor is currently leased to a barber shop, generating an annual income of £10,000, and includes a garden area and a converted garage space used for storage. The lease runs until January 2034, with an upcoming rent review set for January 2029. The first-floor office suite offers potential for significant redevelopment into residential accommodation, subject to obtaining relevant planning permissions. Alternatively, it could continue to function as an office space, with projected rental income around £5,000 per year based on market rates. Recent upgrades include rewiring of the first floor and installation of double-glazed windows at the rear in 2025, alongside a new central heating system and boiler. Situated along the A48 on Cardiff's western side, the property benefits from considerable foot traffic and easy access to local amenities, the M4 motorway, and public transport services directly across the street. This site not only serves its current functions but also boasts considerable potential for further development or enhancement.
