Cars speeding down the main road which can be very loud. The estate is full of young families which is great for socialising and play dates.

Lots of windows allowing for natural light. The hallways are very spacious making it great for families with young children in prams. The layout of the home is lovely and having the kitchen at the back of the property makes the garden sociable for hosting.

Brilliant location so close to the train station. Not many local restaurants but Merthyr Tydfil town centre is a short drive away. Close to the community centre, swimming pool and library. Love living in this street.
