I'm in the Cynon Valley, so about 20 miles north of Cardiff, below Merthyr. What about you? | ||

Merthyr 
God I haven't heard of that place in a long while! I used to live on the edge of st Brides between Newport and Cardiff. Had some friends in Merthyr! |

Ooh, just up the road from us - a lovely area, but there are bits of it that can be like Deliverance country until you get used to it. But, blimey, prices have gone up in the past couple of years. When we started looking, a place like that would have gone for around £250K. | ||

hehe thanks sally_in_wales! | ||

Gosh that looks nice ... has it been sold yet, do you think? | ||
| sheilcymru |
It's been reduced to £325,000 for quick sale - no onward chain
|

I wonder if they would reduce it further for an quicker sale? 
It does look wonderful. |

oooh thats near me - and we had our house valued today and we won't be moving there  My dream to swop bedrooms for land will have to wait until I can lose some more children House prices shot up round here about two years after they did every where else.

Hello Busydaffodil, are you another Welsh member then? (We're slowly infiltrating the group I think) | ||
| busydaffodil |
Definitely Welsh.
Not far from Newport Area. |

| sally_in_wales |
Definately another local! (waves) If it wasnt for the various mountains in the way I could maybe see Newport from here....on a clear day and all that... |
