Heatherview Road, Pontypridd, CF37

RARELY AVAILABLE — Expansive Land with Panoramic Views, small private woodland & planning permission in place. 

At the peaceful end of Heatherview Road, Codepenmaen, Pontypridd, you’ll find a rare and exceptional opportunity: a flat, west-facing elevated plot surrounded by mature trees and greenery, offering unbroken panoramic views across Pontypridd town and the rolling South Wales Valleys.

This semi-rural site offers a unique balance of seclusion and connection — set in its own private grounds yet just a comfortable 10-minute walk to Pontypridd town centre.

The Opportunity: 

• Detailed planning permission is already secured to upgrade the existing dwelling into a modern architecturally designed 3-bedroom home designed to harness the light and the views (full plans available at Belvoir Pontypridd).
• Potential for additional properties on the land (subject to relevant planning consents).
• A small but welcoming neighbourhood community feel on the street, with the warmth and friendliness but also a healthy respect for privacy
• An open invitation to create your own vision, tailoring the space and design to fit your dreams and needs.

Key Features:

• No-through road location, accessed by a private shared drive serving only one other home — offering rare privacy and security.
• Secluded and not overlooked, immersed in trees and greenery.
• Flat, west-facing plot — a rarity in the South Wales Valleys — with sunlight all day and golden, westward sunsets, followed by starlit skies and moonlit arcs.
• Private small woodland with a spring-fed stream, currently set up as a children’s play area with treehouse, tree swing, and hammock — a true natural hideaway.
• Detached outhouse, currently used as a creative space for the children but formerly an upholstery workshop — versatile for hobbies, crafts, or projects.
• Detached double garage offering additional flexible space.
• 14ft diameter yurt with fitted wood-burner, providing cozy, functional, year-round space.
• 21ft professionally refurbished shipping container office/accommodation unit: carpeted, lined, fitted with shower, toilet, heaters, and electrical switchboard (not yet connected to mains, but positioned for future hookup).
• Private parking for four vehicles (approx. 50m²).
• Three live free range egg-laying chickens and a chicken coop (if desired) 

Utilities & Infrastructure: 

• Mains electricity (recently upgraded to three-phase supply, ideal for EV charging and modern energy needs).
• Mains gas, mains water, and telephone line connected.
• Gas central heating (newly installed Nov 2024).
• Private sewage via cesspit with soak-away chamber (located behind the outhouse to the north); future redevelopment will require connection to Welsh Water assets running beneath the southern access lane.
• Good mobile signal and access to high-speed fibre optic broadband at the nearby junction, making homeworking practical and efficient.

Environmental Notes: 

• Localized area of previously professionally treated Japanese Knotweed (well away from the house, at the rear property boundary); treatment records available.

 

The town centre has a range of shops, eateries and the highly regarded Pontypridd indoor market. Pontypridd’s Ynysangharad War Memorial Park also provides a beautiful green space with easy walks, sports fields, a good children’s playpark and Pontypridd Lido, offering outdoor swimming in a beautifully restored setting.  

The town centre also has a bus and metro railway station both offering great access to Cardiff in the South and Merthyr Tydfil in the north.

The A470 dual carriageway is easily accessible and again, provides convenient access to Cardiff, the M4 and North to the stunning Brecon Beacons.  

 

A Landscape Steeped in History & Beauty:

The property is bordered by secluded woodlands and offers local access to Pontypridd Common and the ancient ‘Rocking Stone,’ a landmark rich in Welsh legend and Druidic history. Climbing the hill just behind the property leads you to Eglwysilan Mountain and open common land, where you can take in 360-degree panoramic views: south over Cardiff and the sea, all the way to the north coast of Devon, and northward to Pen y Fan and the Brecon Beacons. These are vistas rarely visited by tourists — a hidden gem offering a rare, sweeping perspective over South Wales’ stunning landscapes. The Taff trail is accessible within a few minutes walk,  tracing the path of the River Taff between Cardiff and Brecon, providing easily accessible active travel options and recreational options in both directions.  

This is a rare place where space, nature, and potential converge. Whether you envision a bespoke family home, additional development (subject to approvals), or simply an investment in a uniquely beautiful and well-connected site, this offering is an invitation to shape something truly special.
