A former south Wales railway club recently converted for use by bikers is revving up for its next transition after being put up for auction. The single-storey building includes parking for a number of vehicles, and to the side of the property is a garden with an outhouse.
Located in Abercynon, Rhondda Cynon Taf, the auctioneer suggests a number of possible uses for the building and land which has a guide price of £75,000-plus.
Paul Fosh Auctions, who are selling this unique property under the hammer, says they have been informed that the land, which extends to the river bank, may contain fishing rights. However this has not yet been verified, so don't start looking for your fishing rod in the garage just yet.

But you could start getting your motorbike or mountain bike ready to become part of the biking social scene as the property has most recently been used by the motorcycle community as an event space, and could continue as such - but it's just one of the possible futures for the building.
The building is ideal as a group meeting place as it comes complete with a bar, kitchen, toilets, a few parking spaces and a large socialising room.
But the former social club is located in a prime location for recreational, leisure activities or light industrial use, so maybe the future of the site as a bikers' retreat is about to ride off into the sunset.
Debra Bisley, of Paul Fosh Auctions said: "Just seven miles away from Bike Park Wales, this property may be suitable for reuse as a bunkhouse for mountain bikers, as an Airbnb or bike rental unit and repairs unit.
"Or it could also possibly be used as a public house, restaurant or café, all subject to the relevant planning consents.
"It's just a three-minute walk from Abercynon train station so the property is easily accessible and may also appeal to train enthusiasts. Alternatively the property may be suitable as a motorbike repair centre, storage space or workshop."
The property features both ladies and gents toilets, a kitchen area, complete with a serving hatch to the garden, a stage and a dance floor area and benefits further from being enclosed by metal security fencing.
The former club house will be offered for sale via online auction with Paul Fosh Auctions starting on Tuesday, May 17 at 12 noon and ending from 5pm on Thursday, May 19, 5pm 2022.
