David Wilson Homes will bring a total of 80 houses - including three-bedroom and four-bedroom - over the next two-and-a-half years. Many of these builds have been designed with working from home in mind; once these are complete Par Fferm Wen will boast 254 houses in total.

Several house-types at the development are expected to be eligible for purchase under the new Help to Buy — Wales scheme, which came into force with a £250,000 threshold on April 1.

Sales Director for Barratt and David Wilson Homes South Wales Richard Lawson, said: “After a year of barely leaving our homes, this brand-new development in the Vale of Glamorgan could be the opportunity many prospective buyers have been waiting for — from first-time buyers ready to fly the nest, to families that want to up-size.

“Just a stone’s throw from Barry and a short commute to the centre of Cardiff, Parc Fferm Wen really does offer the best of both worlds. What’s more, Help to Buy — Wales could make owning a first home significantly more affordable for those stepping onto the property ladder.

“Appointments are filling up quickly, so we’d recommend getting in early to avoid disappointment!”
