An excellent freehold opportunity to acquire a set of prominent corner block buildings in the heart of Troedyrhiw village, comprising two ground-floor retail units (currently let to established local traders) together with five self-contained first and second floor residential flats with only 1 currently unoccupied (Flat 3) but expected to be let by auction date. The property forms part of the historic 1900 Victoria Buildings terrace and occupies a highly visible roadside presence with excellent passing trade and footfall.
The buildings present as traditional red-brick corner properties with large display windows, separate access to the upper floors and a prime village-centre location. Troedyrhiw benefits from local amenities including shops, schools, a railway station and bus routes, with Merthyr Tydfil town centre approximately 4.5 miles north and swift access to the A4060 and A470.
All tenants are in situ. The hairdresser currently occupies only part of Shop 1, we have been informed that the former beauty/nails/tanning treatment rooms are currently vacant. These could be converted into an additional 2-bed flat with its own rear access (the existing back door of the shop would become the flat’s front entrance) subject to necessary consents. Flat 5 (top floor) is a large 2-bed unit with a good sized lounge and two decent-sized bedrooms and potential to be split into two smaller self-contained units if desired subject to consent. These adjustments could materially increase both income and potentially capital value.
PLEASE NOTE : The approximate gross figure stated is based solely on the current passing rents provided and at the advertised Guide Price. No specific running costs (insurance, maintenance, management fees, voids, etc.) have been supplied by the client. Please refer to the legal pack once available for confirmation on tenancies and breakdowns, tenure and any charges.

Apply for Finance* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. 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.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
