This freehold high‑street property occupies a prominent corner position in Llandaff, Cardiff, with an established trading history of over 35 years. The building offers flexible E‑class use across three levels — a spacious ground‑floor retail area with wide glazed frontage, ancillary basement storage and a first‑floor former one‑bed apartment currently used for storage and staff facilities. A council car park sits next door, providing useful customer parking. Trading accounts (year end 3 July 2024) show turnover circa £340,000, 58% gross profit and adjusted net profit of about £47,000, presenting immediate trading visibility for an owner‑operator or investor.
The property is largely traditional Victorian/Georgian masonry with character features to the façade and internal display windows that suit boutique retail, specialist services or a café (subject to fit‑out and consents). Fixtures and fittings are included in the sale subject to confirmation. The E classification gives flexibility to operate retail, professional services or a restaurant/café, and the site benefits from strong pedestrian footfall close to Llandaff Cathedral and Cardiff Met.
Buyers should note a number of material considerations: the building is historic (pre‑1900) and the main heating system is not present (electric heaters assumed), so investment in mechanical services is likely. The first floor has been converted to storage from a residential layout and would require work to return to a residential unit. The property sits in an area described as very deprived despite a generally affluent immediate catchment; onsite external space is limited to a small rear courtyard/side access rather than a full private garden. Internal condition, exact measured areas and service details should be verified by inspection and survey prior to purchase.
This opportunity suits buyers seeking a central freehold retail holding with trading history and redevelopment potential — whether an investor seeking rental or a hands‑on operator wanting an established business and flexible premises in a sought‑after town centre location.
