Summary - 56 HIGH STREET GLYNNEATH NEATH SA11 5BU
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Central corner unit with flat and conversion potential ideal for investors.
Freehold mixed-use building with A3-licensed ground floor
A versatile freehold on Glynneath High Street combining an A3-licensed ground-floor commercial unit and a self-contained one-bedroom flat above. The café-style open-plan trading area sits on a prominent corner, with a paved external seating area that supports customer footfall in the town centre. An ancillary outbuilding offers potential for conversion or storage, subject to planning.
This property suits an investor or owner-operator seeking immediate rental income and trading potential. The first-floor flat is estimated to generate around £7,800 pa, while the ground floor is already configured for café/restaurant use. Built before 1900, the building has characterful granite/whinstone walls and double glazing, and the layout is compact at about 636 sq ft — easy to manage and upkeep.
Buyers should note material considerations: the solid stone walls likely lack insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be necessary; heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. The plot is small and the wider area scores as very deprived, which may affect long-term rental growth and customer mix. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent, and there is no flooding risk.
Overall, this is a practical, centrally located mixed-use freehold for purchasers prepared to invest modestly in building improvements or to continue an established A3 business use. It offers clear upside through outbuilding conversion and improved energy performance, balanced against area economic challenges and the need for potential refurbishment.
