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 premises has previously traded as a vape shop, a sweet stall and as a sandwich bar. The possibilities for the space may not be endless but with some imagination it could perhaps become a takeaway coffee shop, card shop, small boutique, perhaps a mobile phone repair outlet, a 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.”
