South Wales East

Discover our energy-efficient new homes in South Wales East. 

South East Wales has it all and moving to a new home here puts work and leisure opportunities firmly on the map. Cardiff is the focal point for this area on several counts, not least as the celebrated home of Welsh Rugby. You don’t need to be passionate about sport to love the buzz that Cardiff gives to an area that includes the countryside of the Valleys and the Glamorgan heritage coast.

With Wales’s only international airport, and a fast-track route into England via the M4 and the two majestic Severn bridges, South East Wales is certainly well-connected.
