Stylish new apartments go on sale in Ystrad Mynach

Redrow has launched a stylish new range of apartments in Ystrad Mynach ideal for people taking their first or next step on the property ladder.

Set in the village of Ystrad Mynach, near Caerphilly, Cwm Calon has stunning views of the surrounding countryside and its affordability makes it a great choice for people looking for a beautiful and easy to manage new property.

The apartments are ideal for first time buyers and are proving popular with friends getting a mortgage together or couples combining their income to buy their first home.

One-bedroom apartments are available from just £99,950 and two-bedroom apartments from £121,995. Customers can choose from a ground, first or second floor apartment and all come with a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area and a parking space.

Debby Pavitt, sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), said: “Cwm Calon is a great place to buy a first home and the affordability of the apartments make them a great choice for friends clubbing together for a mortgage or couples with a dual income.

“With young people having to work harder for their money these days, ‘buying with a buddy’ could be just the thing for people concerned about their finances. The ‘Avon’ apartments at Cwm Calon are fantastic properties for first time buyers – with or without a flatmate or partner. Our experienced sales consultants will be available to talk through the options available to those buying together.

“The development is a lovely place to live and it’s got great transport and rail links. Along with the new hospital that is being built nearby, it will really put Ystrad Mynach on the map.”

The immediate amenities of Ystrad Mynach and the town of Caerphilly are close by, while for commuters Cardiff is just a 14 mile journey south by car or 20 minutes by train from the nearby railway station.

At Cwm Calon, Redrow is creating an urban village environment on the site of the former Penallta Colliery, where Groundwork Caerphilly has already created a neighbouring community park of some 180 hectares.

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

As well as the apartments there is also a range of three-bedroom houses available from £179,995, a choice of four-bedroom terraced, semi and detached houses from £194,995 and a five-bedroom detached home at £319,995.

A new bi-lingual primary school is also under construction and due to open autumn 2008, making the development a great choice for families.
