Description

A unique chance to acquire a piece of local history and unlock its full potential—this former church on Dorothy Street, Trallwn, offers incredible investment value for the right buyer. With full planning permission already granted for the conversion into five generous three-bedroom apartments, this is a ready-made project waiting to be brought to life. *For sale by public and online auction on Monday 20th October 2025 at 6.30pm*

Internally, no conversion work has been started, meaning developers and investors have complete creative freedom to design the layout and finish to their preferred specification. All architectural plans have been drawn up, allowing you to hit the ground running and realise your investment goals faster.

Located in the heart of Trallwn, this property is ideally placed for strong rental demand or future resale, thanks to its proximity to Pontypridd town centre, excellent transport links, local schools, parks, and amenities. The area has seen steady regeneration over recent years, and demand for well-finished, family-sized apartments continues to grow—making this project a standout option for serious investors.

The external character of the building offers curb appeal and architectural charm that will set the finished apartments apart from anything else on the local market.

With the hard work of planning already secured, this is a rare find—offering huge potential for capital growth, rental income, and long-term gains. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a first-time investor with vision, this project is ready and waiting.

Guide Price
An indication of the seller’s current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction

Reserve
The seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction

Proof of Identity
To comply with Money Laundering Regulations, on acceptance of an offer for purchase or letting, the buyer or prospective tenant will be required to provide identification to Butters John Bee. Where a property is due to go to auction, all bidders will be required to register prior to auction
