Valley views attract buyers to Tonypandy development

“The green, green grass of home” is certainly proving to be a draw for buyers at Barratt Homes’ Parc Gellifaelog development in Tonypandy – where many of the houses boast glorious views of the Welsh countryside. John Cridge, Barratt Homes’ on-site sales negotiator, is a relative newcomer to the company and it’s not hard to see why he loves his new ‘office’.

“Parc Gellifaelog is set on the mountain side and enjoys gorgeous views of the valley,” he said. “It’s in a semi-rural location but it’s also close to local amenities at Tonypandy, so we’ve been attracting a lot of family buyers, especially those with young children.”

John manages the site with fellow sales negotiator Janet Jenkins. “We’ve had all the usual jokes about Janet and John, because they were characters in a children’s book,” John continues. “Janet has been looking after me and training me in the job and, as we actually worked together years ago, it’s been really nice to have a friendly face at work.”

Janet and John offer step-by-step advice for buyers, with an emphasis on providing a hassle-free move at every step of the sales process.

“It’s all about finding what people are looking for and matching their needs to the appropriate Barratt property,” John continued. “We have three great show homes – the Kempton townhouse and the Windemere and Ascot detached houses. The interiors have been laid out by an interior design team to give people an idea of what the finished homes will look like and they also have landscaped gardens.”

John pointed out that, in addition to a great location, Barratt Homes offer a number of tempting offers and incentives for buyers. These include a part-exchange or agency selling service on the existing home, with Barratt paying the estate agency fees.

“We also offer a five per cent deposit paid deal for first-time buyers and a Blue Ribbon package, where carpets, curtains and lights/fittings are included in the price.”

Current availability at Parc Gellifaelog includes a selection of three and four-bedroom houses, all with en-suite master bedrooms and garages. Prices range from £192,500 for a three-bedroom semi-detached home to £267,950 for a four-bedroom detached house.
Tonypandy’s excellent amenities include supermarkets, primary and secondary schools, a community college, restaurants, pubs, health centre, popular weekend market, Rhondda Golf Club and Rhondda Sports Centre - and all within reach of mountain walks.
