Community pharmacy in Cowbridge is up for sale with £1.5M asking price

Sylvia Williams Chemist in Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales is up for sale with a leasehold asking price of £1,500,000.

 It is an established community pharmacy that dispenses an average of 12,500 items per month. The business is very well-located on the main high street of the highly desirable Vale of Glamorgan market town of Cowbridge.


This sale also comes with the opportunity to acquire the substantial freehold property known as the ‘Great House’.

The pharmacy, which has been owned by Mrs Kate Thomas and her family for over 40 years, has been brought to market to allow her to retire from the business and concentrate on other interests.

Kate Thomas comments, “Cowbridge has been a wonderful place to live and work - it manages to be a very upmarket place while remaining close to its agricultural roots, it has a wonderful community spirit, and has more than once been voted the best place to live in Wales. We have been very happy here and the children were lucky to have one of the top state secondary schools in Wales on their doorstep.

“Our pharmacy is right in the heart of the high street and is a very important part of the community. It has been a pleasure to serve our patients over the years. We have had many happy years here and hope the new owners will enjoy working here as much as we have.”
