The property comprises a large double fronted, end terraced, mixed use building located along a prominent busy thoroughfare within the urban catchment area of Sketty.
Internally, the premises comprises a large ground floor retail unit, currently occupied for use as a hot food takeaway and restaurant, accommodating the main sales area/ and service counter to the front, which is also supported by ancillary accommodation to the rear including various preparation/ store rooms, a private office and catering kitchen.
The remaining accommodation over the ground floor provides independent access to the owner’s residential accommodation over the first floor, via an internal stairwell to the left hand side elevation. The remaining ground floor accommodation also benefits from a small shower room, directly off the entrance foyer and hallway. The first floor, which has also been extended further to the rear, comprises four bedrooms, a large lounge/ dining area, bathroom and small utility room. However, it would appear that no domestic kitchen facilities are available over the upper floor.
The subject premises also benefits from a goods lift, which has been installed along the rear section of the building. We have been informed that the goods lift has not been in operation for a number of years.
The property is located within a relatively large site, which appears to have been extended further to the rear, providing vehicular access over the lane to the northeast boundary. The lane also provides vehicular access to a small external yard area, which is accessed via a roller shutter loading door, comprising designated parking for 1-2 vehicles. The rear yard also accommodates a detached outbuilding.
The property fronts Dillwyn Road within the popular suburb of Sketty.
