A substantial freehold warehouse/workshop in Riverside, offered for sale by public auction on 9th December 2025. The building provides approximately 5,400 sq ft (502 sqm) of internal space across a high‑height ground floor workshop with inspection pit and first‑floor storage to the rear. It benefits from its own 3m x 20m gated vehicle access lane from Wells Street, fob‑operated full‑height garage door, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
This property is best suited to investors, developers or operators seeking large industrial floorplate near Cardiff city centre (about 0.5 miles). Use possibilities include continued workshop/warehouse, community/events space or complete redevelopment into an alternative use, subject to obtaining any necessary consents. The area has good local amenities and motorway links within a mile.
Significant re‑investment is required: the building is dilapidated, roof and general fabric need repair, and the site will require renovation if retained in current form. The sale is by auction with a buyer’s premium of 1.2% (minimum £1,200 inc VAT) payable on exchange; interested bidders should consult the legal pack for tenure verification, disbursements and the reserve price details.
This is a pragmatic opportunity for a buyer who can budget for repair and consent costs and who values size and location close to the city centre. The property sits in a very deprived area, so lettings or community use may attract different demand profiles and grant/funding possibilities should be checked.
