It’s a celebration!

The first daffodils of spring have started to make an appearance and it can mean only one thing – St David’s Day is upon us and one house builder is making the celebrations last longer in Ystrad Mynach, near Caerphilly. 

With St David’s Day falling on a Thursday this year, developer Redrow is extending its celebrations over the weekend of Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th March in honour of Wales’ patron saint.

There’ll be daffodils and Welsh cakes for all visitors, as well as an opportunity to find out more about the homes available at Cwm Calon – and the chance to win dinner for two at the five-star luxury St David’s Hotel & Spa, in Cardiff Bay.

Bev Wookey, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), says: “Home buyers at Cwm Calon really are in for a treat with some traditional Welsh fayre and customs to add some fun to the home buying process.”

Cwm Calon features a range of three, four and five-bedroom homes and currently offers buyers the very best in elegant and spacious townhouse living.

Bev adds: “This new generation of homes with accommodation arranged over three floors suits customer from all walks of life, from growing families seeking more space, to downsizers who intend to use an extra room for visiting guests, a home gym or study.”

Currently available at Cwm Calon is the Neale house type that is ready and waiting to be snapped up, with prices starting from £179,950 for this fantastic home.

The Neale is a three-storey, four-bedroom home that boasts a fitted kitchen and separate dining room on the ground floor, ideal for throwing dinner parties for friends or simply for preparing and enjoying delicious home cooked meals.

The first floor features a spacious lounge and master bedroom with en-suite, while the remaining three bedrooms and family bathroom can be found on the floor above.

In addition to the Neale, a variety of other house designs are available at Cwm Calon, including the three-bedroom, three-storey Malham townhouse which is priced from £182,950 and the three-bedroom Fairwood, currently priced from £159,950, so home buyers really are spoilt for choice.

Redrow’s Cwm Calon development is part of a wider regeneration of the former Penallta Colliery, which will eventually also see the refurbishment of the colliery’s power hall, winding towers, ancillary buildings and two lakes.

The immediate amenities of Ystrad Mynach and the town of Caerphilly are close by and for commuters there are good road and rail links for the 14-mile journey south to Cardiff. Surrounding the old colliery, Groundwork Caerphilly has already created a community park of some 180 hectares offering countryside walks.

Join Redrow this weekend for its celebration of all things Welsh at Cwm Calon, where the fully dressed show homes are open daily from 10am – 5.30pm. Buyers can call 01443 862 953 to speak with a member of the sales team.
