Description

A town-centre building combining a ground-floor commercial unit with two self-contained one-bedroom flats. The shop area includes two large reception rooms, with a kitchen and utility space, WC and separate shower room to the rear. A communal entrance with quarry-tiled flooring provides access to the upper residential accommodation. Each flat has its own kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom, and the listing notes that both would benefit from modernisation. The commercial rooms may offer scope for conversion to a one- or two-bedroom flat, subject to the required planning permission and other consents. Outside, there is a low-maintenance garden and rear parking. The property has mains electricity, water and drainage, with electric central heating; services and appliances have not been tested. The building is within reach of Builth Wells town-centre amenities and local transport links.

Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £225,000, this is a strikingly low entry point for the space: around £116 per sq ft, compared with a local average of £236. The property combines a ground-floor commercial unit with two self-contained one-bedroom flats, giving an investor several existing income spaces to refresh and manage. The shop space also has potential for residential conversion, subject to planning permission and other consents.

The interiors look broadly usable, with dated finishes across several rooms making this a light, cosmetic project rather than a major rebuild. The prominent brick frontage, rear parking and manageable garden add to the appeal; check the condition of the sheds and fencing, and verify the services, which have not been tested.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes across the flats and commercial space while retaining the broadly usable layouts.
  • Explore the potential to convert the commercial space into one or two-bedroom accommodation, subject to planning permission and other consents.
  • Make the most of the existing rear parking and easy-to-maintain garden with routine tidying and upkeep.
