A converted former South Wales chapel sitting within a 0.6-acre site is heading to auction with a guide price of just £1.
The freehold property in Porth, Mid Glamorgan, has most recently been used as the headquarters of a business which has traded from the site for more than 50 years.
Now being sold through Paul Fosh Auctions following the company’s relocation, the site includes the former chapel office building alongside garages, workshops and storage space.
Auctioneers say the property could continue in commercial use or potentially be redeveloped for housing, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
Sean Roper of Paul Fosh Auctions says: “This lot is a substantial freehold site consisting of former office block units, garages and workshops measuring in total about 0.6 acres.
“The site now offers a new owner multiple opportunities either to continue existing uses or perhaps for conversion of the office building to residential or development of the whole site for residential dwellings, subject to necessary planning consents.
“The site has been home to a company trading successfully for over fifty years. It is now being sold due to relocation. The site is well located as it sits between other new developments and would be ideal for multiple houses or blocks of flats, subject to necessary planning consents.
“The office block comprises three floors of accommodation with multiple offices and stores etc. There are a selection of outbuildings including a large unit suitable for storage or light industrial and a selection of garages and a spacious workshop/stores.”
THREE FLOORS
The former chapel provides three floors of accommodation. The first floor includes an entrance foyer and reception, three offices, stores, a smaller office, toilet and kitchenette.
The lower ground floor contains former general storage and office space, while the basement provides further storage areas and a toilet.
The property is close to Porth town centre and its railway station, which provides direct services to Cardiff.
It is among more than 120 lots due to be offered in the next Paul Fosh Auctions sale, which starts at noon on 6 October and concludes from 2pm on 8 October.
