One of the smallest shops in Wales is up for sale

One of the smallest shops in Wales is being offered for sale.

Located on High Street in Blackwood the Central Buildings property extends to just over 137 sq ft.

The empty retail property, sandwiched between a shoe shop and an opticians, will come up at auction later this month with a guide price of £27,000.

Debra Bisley, of Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions is confident the space, which is just 4.5 feet wide with a depth of 28, will attract strong interest.

She said: “We believe that this is surely the smallest shop currently for sale in South Wales. Although it’s small it’s in an ideal spot for the right business.

“The shuttered shop has previously traded as a vape shop, a sweets stall and as a sandwich bar. The possibilities for the space may not be endless, but with some imagination it could become perhaps a takeaway coffee shop, card shop, small boutique or perhaps a mobile phone repair outlet or bijou beauty salon or nail bar.

“The shop, sandwiched between ShoeZone and Specsavers and with a range of independent and national traders nearby, has a kitchenette at the back so there’s a start for the entrepreneurial cafe owner at least.”

“Ideally located on the thriving High Street of Blackwood, this property benefits from plenty of footfall."

The shop will come up for auction on October 19th.
