An substantial former leisure premises with significant redevelopment potential, situated in a rear lane in Neath Town Centre and sold with vacant possession. This sizeable two storey detached commercial building, formally known as the former "Katz Nightclub." The property is of traditional brick and block construction with a rendered and part-timber clad façade, under a flat roof.
Internally, the property offers large, open plan floor plates across two levels. Both floors retain elements of its former use as a nightclub, including a prominent bar area with decorative diamond-patterned detailing, a raised stage area, and a large dancefloor featuring original parquet wood flooring. The first floor provides additional wide open floor space with suspended ceilings and partitioned areas, previously used for further lounge/bar areas and storage.
The property is in a state of disrepair and requires full renovation following the cessation of trading, providing development opportunity for a variety of uses subject to the necessary consent. The building could be suitable for a wide range of alternative uses, including residential conversion (apartments), gymnasium, boutique cinema, restaurant, or creative studio space.

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.
