The garden and backland plots that interests us around Ferndale
Around Ferndale, garden land is most promising where a lane already runs behind the houses or two or three neighbours can sell together. Ferndale is in Mid Glamorgan, about 12 miles north-east of Bridgend. Nearby places include Treorchy, Tonypandy and Mountain Ash.
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane, road or track
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Paddocks and orchards behind homes on the edge of a village
- Plots where the owner wants to keep their house
The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.

Selling garden land changes your home, so we plan boundaries and access carefully.
