The subject property occupies an outstanding and highly visible corner trading position among other independent operators in the densely populated suburb of Morriston, which lies with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A48 and M4 junction 46 etc.) on the outskirts of the vibrant and prosperous coastal city of Swansea in West Glamorgan.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving commercial and residential proposition of uncommon quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents exceptional value.

This very well established store currently primarily conducts an extremely popular retail operation of an extensive and eclectic range of premium quality gift ideas and market-leading greetings cards for all occasions, all of which is displayed to its very best advantage in a bright, spacious and welcoming showroom area.

“For All Occasions” also stocks an excellent choice of bespoke celebration balloons, associated party supplies and traditional Welsh costumes and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to a possible introduction of Sunday trading in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade demand.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and sales, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some ten highly successful years ago by the current proprietor, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of five part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to someone simply looking to very significantly increase their existing investment portfolio by the acquisition of a substantial and extremely well located additional freehold property which would be eminently capable of achieving a very healthy return on initial capital investment in terms of future rental income from the existing business, and potential private accommodation alike, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Fitted to superb industry specifications throughout, these substantial and well maintained THREE-STOREY freehold corner parade premises provide outstanding and highly functional internal business accommodation to the GROUND FLOOR, which briefly comprises an inviting and part-glazed, single-fronted public entrance with an electrically-operated steel security roller shutter directly off Woodfield Street (B4603) into the main, bright, spacious and welcoming, open-plan retail sales and customer service showroom area with suspended ceiling, diffused fluorescent lighting and durable industrial non-slip flooring throughout for easy cleaning.

The main public area houses a full range of high quality, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built display furniture and shelving for an extensive selection of premium quality gift ideas, party supplies, celebration balloons and Welsh costumes etc., in addition to extensive greetings cards racking and carousel display units and a prominent, fully fitted display point-of-sale counter area with electronic till point with full EPOS system.

The ground-floor premises also incorporate a small shop kitchen area and all the usual washroom/WC facilities, together with a range of storage areas with separate delivery door access.

Accessed by means of its own separate and fully self-contained side entrance with electrically- operated steel security roller shutter, to the FIRST FLOOR the property provides currently unoccupied private living accommodation employed solely for storage purposes, which we understand would afford excellent potential for conversion to a fully self-contained apartment and consists of a lounge area and a fully fitted domestic kitchen, together with a good-sized double bedroom and a fully fitted bathroom/WC.

Further potential private living accommodation to the SECOND FLOOR consists of three large rooms ideal for conversion to additional self-contained apartment with a lounge, kitchen and bedroom, together with a second, fully fitted bathroom/WC.

The property also enjoys the benefit of double glazing throughout, in addition to full gas central heating with separate boiler systems serving the business and private accommodation.

Externally:

To the front the business premises are prominently signed and attractively presented and afford extensive and inviting display window space onto a busy suburban commercial thoroughfare with unrestricted customer parking available locally.

The property also incorporates a useful, secure and fully enclosed private service yard area to the rear with separate access for deliveries.

The business is well fitted throughout and a valuable inventory of equipment is to be included in the sale price
