Is your land in Penarth the kind we want?
Across Penarth, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. Sitting about 3 miles south of Cardiff, Penarth is within South Glamorgan, with Cardiff and Barry close by.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
Cardiff is a major focus for new homes in Wales, with regeneration around Cardiff Bay, the city centre and stations on the South Wales Metro. The Glamorgan Heritage Coast, conservation areas and the airport at Rhoose shape what is suitable in the rural Vale.
