Description

An iconic Grade II listed seafront investment comprising a retail shop with cellar and three let one-bedroom flats

Occupying a prominent position on Aberdyfi’s seafront, No. 15 Glandovey Terrace combines architectural elegance, a rich history and an established rental income. Listed in 1951 and recorded by Cadw as the former Pier Café, the building reflects the town’s early 19th-century development following the arrival of the turnpike road in 1827.

Its distinctive stucco façade retains a wealth of period detail, including a central recessed porch with Doric columns and paired entrance doors, multi-pane sash windows, elliptical fanlights and hipped dormers. This handsome frontage looks directly towards the yacht club and across the sweeping Dyfi estuary.

The ground floor is occupied by Samphire, an established ladies’ clothing and gift shop stocking the popular Seasalt brand, with a loyal following among residents and visitors. The property also includes three well-presented, let one-bedroom flats, each with its own ground-floor access. Flat 1 has been fully modernised and renovated.

Together, the four units generate a current rental income of £33,780 per annum, representing a gross yield of 6.1% at the asking price. A rare opportunity to acquire a fully let investment of considerable character in one of Wales’s most sought-after coastal villages.

About Fine and Country West Wales, Aberystwyth

Second Floor, 8 Great Darkgate St, Aberystwyth, SY23 1DE
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0

During March 2022, Fine & Country West Wales proudly received the prestigious Top Operator in Wales Award at the Fine & Country Conference in Westminster. This accolade was warmly welcomed by Managing Director, Nigel Salmon, and recognised the culmination of 18 months of focused, high-quality work.

Fine & Country was introduced to the beautiful Mid and West Wales region in late summer 2020, at the height of the pandemic, by Nigel and his team. Since then, the business has gone from strength to strength, earning a reputation for outstanding marketing of distinctive homes, particularly along the Cardigan Bay coastline. This success is underpinned by a wealth of five-star reviews for the West Wales office.

In July 2025, Fine & Country West Wales opened its prestigious new Luxury Property Centre within the former Post Office in Aberystwyth. This stylish and welcoming space reflects the brand’s commitment to elevating the client experience and offering a truly premium environment in which to explore the Fine & Country difference.

Building on this momentum, the company expanded its full-service coverage across the whole of Pembrokeshire and West Carmarthenshire from May 2025, ensuring that clients throughout West Wales can benefit from specialist marketing expertise and a highly visible regional presence. The team is particularly well-known for its skill in relaunching properties, revitalising homes that have previously struggled to sell and giving them a fresh, successful route back to the market.

Most recently, in August 2025, the team relocated to the second floor of the historic Old Post Office building in Aberystwyth. This larger, more prominent headquarters reflects the continued growth of the business and provides an inspiring hub for clients, partners, and the expanding Fine & Country West Wales team.

In parallel with its physical expansion, Fine & Country West Wales has embraced bold innovation, integrating cutting-edge AI systems into its operations. These ensure that no enquiry is missed, properties remain consistently visible across every major platform, and marketing campaigns are data-driven, agile, and constantly refined. Traditional client care is now seamlessly combined with next-generation technology to deliver a premium, proactive, and highly efficient service.

Nigel and his team look forward to welcoming new, existing, and returning clients to their Aberystwyth office, and to continuing to present the very best of West Wales property—locally, nationally, and internationally.
