About Rhiwlas at Plasdŵr
Development Overview
Rhiwlas at Plasdŵr is a new build homes development by Bellway Homes, located off Llantrisant Road in Radyr, Cardiff (CF15 8DX). The site is an integral part of the wider Plasdŵr masterplan, a 900-acre project conceived as Cardiff's ‘garden city for the 21st century,’ which dedicates approximately 40% of its area to managed green space, including heritage woodland, sports pitches, and play areas. The development features a total of 120 new properties, comprising both private and affordable housing. The private homes consist of a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom house types. Construction work is currently in its final phase for this initial part of the project. As of early 2024, four-bedroom new build homes were available for reservation, with prices starting from £454,995.
Property Details
The collection of homes at Rhiwlas has included a variety of property types to suit different buyer profiles, from two-bedroom houses purchased by first-time buyers and investors to three and four-bedroom properties favoured by families. The development included 102 private homes and 18 affordable homes, the latter delivered through low-cost rent or shared ownership schemes.
Typical four-bedroom house types offer spacious layouts, which may include a ground floor with a living room measuring approximately 4.550m x 3.200m and an open-plan kitchen and dining area extending to 5.980m (max) x 3.474m (max). Standard internal specification includes open-plan kitchen and dining areas, integrated oven, hob, and hood, a cloakroom, and ceramic wall tiling to bathrooms. Homes are designed with contemporary finishes suitable for a range of families and professionals.
