DESCRIPTION & LOCATION; On the instructions of the current (retiring) proprietor, Barbara Rees Commercial is pleased to offer for sale, this long and well established, profitable, going concern, takeaway fish and chip shop, along with two large self contained and separately serviced apartments.

The property comprises a substantial, detached and traditionally built, modern unit, having been well maintained with the business element, having been recently refurbished, to provide an easily run takeaway, along with nicely appointed proprietor’s living accommodation plus investment income from the second flat (if so desired).

Alternatively, the property would make an ideal income producing investment, if the buyer were to let the business unit and each residential flat separately.

Its location is in the middle of densely populated residential area, next to a workingmen’s club, a regularly used football / sporting field / nearby cricket club and industrial estate, all of which, yield up healthy passing and repeat trade.

DIRECTIONS AND VIEWING; The property and business is located just off the A470 at Pentrebach, being approximately a mile to the South East of Merthyr’s town centre, see the map inlay below for local directions.

Viewing is strictly accompanied only, by prearranged appointment via our Tonypandy office. Prospective purchasers are requested to respect the seller’s (and staff) privacy and not make any direct approaches to staff or the property and business, as this will simply result in referral back to Barbara Rees Commercial.

THE BUSINESS UNIT; 38.2 sq mt (411 sq ft) direct off road customer access, security roller shutters, alarm and cctv systems. Self contained, lock up ( historic and unrestricted) A3 user, takeaway fish and chip shop with a twin P & T range, customer waiting area, food prep room, chip room / stores and staff wc, (to be sold inclusive of all fixtures fittings and equipment, as seen and viewed).

The business is currently trading successfully, with healthy sales derived from an online food ordering system for takeaway and customer collection only, Saturday football events and regular repeat business, from the local residents / nearby licensed premises and industrial estates. There is also huge potential to expand and grow sales via home delivery / longer opening hours and / or converting the ground floor flat, back to its former use, as an eat in restaurant.

Current business hours are Monday to Friday 11:30am to 7pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm, closed on Sunday.

RATES & FINANCIAL INFORMATION; RV = £ 2,400 from 01-04-26 (the unit should qualify for 100% SBBR in the fiscal year 2026 – 27, however, purchasers should satisfy themselves and make their own enquiries with the local authority / VOA, in this regard).

In addition to our core services, of residential and commercial property sales and lettings, we operate an in house maintenance, building and refurbishment facility, as well as linked professional services from Surveying through to Independent Financial and Mortgage advice, plus Legal Services via our preferred partner companies. Barbara Rees was originally set up and founded in 1984 by Barbara & Jacqueline Rees, whilst J. Paul Rees initially held a consultancy role, to provide financial services to our clients. The head office was opened on Crwys Road in Cathays Cardiff, where we still remain to this day. J. Paul Rees later joined the business in a full time capacity as managing director, hence, we really are a true family business, that goes that extra mile, to offer our clients a personal, professional and caring service. By 1991, selectively targeted growth, diversification and expansion of our activities gave rise to a strategic review and re-structure of our business model, thus leading to the incorporation and segmentation of the business, to more accurately reflect our overall and individual group activities. We now cover property sales and lettings in all areas of Cardiff, Pontypridd, Llantrisant, the Rhondda and near by Valleys to the North West of Cardiff, M4 and A470 corridors. Indeed, we are proud of our roots, heritage and tradition, as we recognize and appreciate the fact that "most our business is derived from recommendation and referral" with clients retuning year after year for us to let and manage their property, as well as undertaking repeat sales, for both business and personal clients, as their needs change, and assets grow. So what of the future, well, Barbara Rees has established a name for quality and personal service and we see no need to change that, but we do recognize the need to change with the times and whilst many independent agents, may be pondering their future, Barbara Rees is geared up for the long term, as change always offers opportunity, not adversity.
