An eyesore derelict building in Caerphilly town centre, once a popular fashion store, and latterly a furniture shop, is being turned into flats and commercial space. Manchester House, located just off Van Road, has been vacant for around 10 years.
The property's former owner, Jatinder Khehra, previously spoke to WalesOnline after submitting a planning application to the council in the hope of developing the building into flats and office space. However, this did not come to fruition and the planning application expired.
In 2022, Bedwas-based property developer, SJR Property Investments, bought Manchester house and re-submitted the planning permission, which the council granted in December. Now, the business - run by brothers Josh, 30, and Sam, 26 - hopes to begin work as soon as April.
