Leisure/hospitality for sale

High Street, Borth SY24

The property extends to approximately 1,000 square feet and includes proposals to create an additional first floor trading area, offering further potential to enhance the overall accommodation.

Planning Permission was granted by Ceredigion County Council on the 11 January 2024 under planning reference A230858 to change the use of the property from an Amusement Arcade to Retail A1. The development shall begin no later than five years from the date of this decision.

Previously, Planning Permission was granted by Ceredigion County Council on 14th November 2018 under planning reference A180278 to demolish the existing amusement arcade and erection of a building to be used as a market hall with 8 shops/units. The planning permission was valid for a 5-year period and as it wasn’t implemented has subsequently lapsed.

Owing to its position and layout, the building may also be suitable for alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property occupies a highly visible location along the seafront in the popular coastal village of Borth, a well-established tourist destination renowned for its long sandy beach which runs through the village and continues north to the extensive beaches and dunes of Ynyslas, a designated nature reserve attracting visitors year-round for walking, wildlife, water sports and outdoor recreation.

Borth supports a strong seasonal and holiday trade, underpinned by several large caravan and holiday parks in and around the village, together with a steady residential population. The village offers a range of local amenities including shops, cafés, public houses and a railway station providing regular services along the Cambrian Coast line, linking the area with Aberystwyth, Machynlleth and beyond, which further enhances accessibility for visitors and commuters alike.

The property lies approximately eight miles north of Aberystwyth, the principal town of west Wales, which serves as a major commercial, retail, educational and administrative centre for the region. Aberystwyth is a vibrant university and market town, home to Aberystwyth University and a substantial student population, alongside a busy town centre offering a wide range of national retailers, independent shops, leisure facilities, restaurants and cultural attractions.

The town also benefits from a promenade, harbour and beaches, contributing to a strong tourism sector, as well as excellent transport links including mainline rail services and road connections to the wider region. The proximity of Aberystwyth significantly enhances the appeal of the property, providing access to a large catchment area and supporting the commercial potential of this well-located coastal opportunity.
