Special remarks:
A genuine retirement sale after twelve years in the same family.

Property Information

Property:

Available as freehold and leasehold

Living Accommodation:

Two flats above the shop, arranged across the two upper floors, currently occupied by the vendors. Planning was previously applied for to convert the flats into self-contained units, though the application was not pursued — the groundwork is there for an incoming buyer to revisit and turn the upper floors into a meaningful additional rental income.

Location:

In the heart of Pontypridd town centre, surrounded by national multiples and household-name traders, with densely populated residential districts in every direction supporting year-round trade. Cardiff is just ten miles away, the main A470 is close by, and the River Taff and Rhondda Rivers run through the town.

Premises Details:

A very substantial purpose-built three-storey property arranged as a spacious fish & chip takeaway with the restaurant adjacent on the ground floor, and two flats occupying the two upper floors. The frontage is set in an aluminium-framed surround with separate double-door entrances for the takeaway and restaurant, and bright overhead illuminated menu boards. Inside, the takeaway is fitted and equipped to a good standard around an extended service counter, with multiple workstations running off the large frying area. The premises do need some TLC and partial modernisation in places — fairly addressed, this should translate directly into higher takings.

Business Operation

Trading hours:

Open seven days a week. The shop currently closes by 8.00pm at the latest, which the vendor acknowledges leaves the late-night town-centre trade on the table — he estimates an extra £3,000 a week or more is available simply by extending into the evening.
