Description
Development site for sale in Troedyrhiw, Merthyr Tydfil — 14,406 sq m (STMS) across two adjoining parcels with previous planning consent for 12 residential units. Guide price £150,000, for sale by auction.
The Opportunity
This is a rare land auction opportunity for developers, self-builders and investors: a substantial development site in Troedyrhiw, South Wales, comprising two adjoining parcels totalling approximately 14,406 sq m (subject to measured survey). The site benefits from previously established residential development consent for 12 units, now lapsed, giving a strong planning history for anyone considering a fresh application. With a guide price of just £150,000, this is competitively priced against comparable South Wales development land, which has recently sold for between £125,000 and £395,000.
The Location
Troedyrhiw is a well-connected village in the Taff Valley, part of Merthyr Tydfil County Borough, with shops, schools and local amenities within easy walking distance of the site. The wider area is a genuine regeneration hotspot, with over £45 million invested locally through schemes including the Plan for Neighbourhoods and Transforming Towns initiatives — a strong signal for anyone searching for development land in an area of rising property values, with local averages currently around £204,000.
Transport Links
Excellent connectivity is a real draw here. Troedyrhiw railway station is on your doorstep, with direct services to Merthyr Tydfil and on to Cardiff, roughly 24 miles south. The A470 gives fast road access to Cardiff and the M4, with the A465 and A4060 connecting to the wider South Wales region, plus regular local bus routes.
Outside
The land sits east of Fernhill Close and can be viewed by arrangement — prospective buyers are welcome to walk the site during daylight hours without a prior appointment, entirely at their own risk. The dual-parcel layout offers flexibility for a phased build, subdivision, or a single comprehensive scheme, subject to planning.
Auction Details
Lot 40 goes under the hammer on 23rd September 2026 at 1:00pm at the St James Room, Claridge's, Mayfair, London, with live, in-room and online bidding available. Guide price: £150,000.
