Cae St Fagans at Plasdŵr

Development Overview

Cae St Fagans at Plasdŵr is a new build development by Redrow Homes, located on Pentrebane Drive in the St Fagans area of Cardiff, CF5 3DR. This site forms one of the first neighbourhoods within the wider Plasdŵr 'Garden City' masterplan, a long-term community project covering 900 acres that will ultimately deliver approximately 7,000 new homes, significant green space, and new infrastructure in North West Cardiff. The development is in its final phase, with only a limited number of new homes remaining.

Redrow Homes, the developer, holds a long-standing industry reputation, having been awarded a 5-star rating for customer satisfaction by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for 16 consecutive years (up to 2025). The development is situated approximately five miles from Cardiff city centre.

Property Details and Current Availability

Cae St Fagans features properties from Redrow's acclaimed Heritage Collection, a range of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes that combine traditional Arts and Crafts-inspired exteriors with contemporary internal layouts. As of the last published availability, the remaining properties consist of three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached new build homes.

Specific examples of homes available in the final phase (or recently sold) include the three-bedroom Ludlow house type, priced from £359,995, which features an en-suite to the main bedroom, a separate laundry room, and a downstairs cloakroom. The detached three-bedroom Amberley was priced from £424,995, while a detached Warwick model was listed at £400,000. Previously available house types included the two-bedroom Ledbury and the four-bedroom Shrewsbury. The variety of house types available is generally rated positively by residents.

Location Benefits and Connectivity

The development benefits from its position on the periphery of Cardiff, providing a semi-rural setting while remaining well-connected to the capital. The location is approximately three miles from the city centre.

Local Transport Links: The nearest railway stations are Fairwater and Waun-gron Park, which are both approximately two miles from the St Fagans area. Rail access to Cardiff city centre is estimated at around 10-15 minutes. Direct bus services, including the Cardiff Bus Route 32 and 320, connect the local area to Cardiff Interchange, with a journey time of approximately 30 minutes to the city centre. Significant investment (£27m) is earmarked for new transport infrastructure as part of the wider Plasdŵr development, including bus priority measures, super cycleways (connecting to the Taff Trail and Ely Trail), and proposals for a future light rail/tram line stop. Major road connections are via the nearby A4232.

Local Amenities & Schools: The wider Plasdŵr community is planned to feature its own district centre with shops, bars, and restaurants, alongside four new primary schools and one new secondary school. Existing local amenities are available in the neighbouring communities of Radyr and Danescourt. Radyr offers a village centre with shops, a post office, sports clubs, and a railway station. The new Ysgol Gynradd Groes-Wen Primary School (Bilingual) is operational within the Plasdŵr area. The popular St Fagans National Museum of History is a key local attraction, reachable via a section of the Ely Trail cycle route.
