An approved development opportunity in Carmel, Llanelli, centred on the former Temple Bar Inn and surrounding land. Planning permission (Carmarthenshire Ref. PL/05675, March 2025) grants outline consent for residential conversion and an indicative scheme for five new dwellings, making this site attractive to developers or investors seeking a rural build project with scope for bespoke layouts.
The existing building is a small detached property (approx. 582 sq ft, three bedrooms, one bathroom) constructed c.1996–2002 with double glazing and LPG-fired central heating. The house sits on a very large plot, offering significant scope for new-build units, gardens and parking. The site may also continue in commercial use (pub/restaurant) if preferred, giving flexibility on the end use.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow and heating runs off LPG (not mains gas), which may affect running costs and appeal to some buyers. The wider area is classed as very deprived, and the property is in a hamlet/isolated location; however mobile signal is excellent and crime levels are very low.
This freehold lot is offered at £225,000 with outline matters reserved, so detailed design and layout will need to be progressed through reserved matters. The plot suits developers, small-house builders or investors able to manage utilities and site infrastructure, and those prepared to address rural connectivity and services during delivery.
