A 0.61-acre former farmyard in Old St. Mellons has come onto the market, offering a redevelopment opportunity that combines planning certainty with genuine historic interest.
Located on Bridge Road, the site listed on Plotfinder includes an early-18th-century farmhouse – more than 300 years old – alongside an agricultural outbuilding, all set within the village’s long-established rural framework.
Old St. Mellons is one of Cardiff’s oldest settlements, and plots with both heritage buildings and planning permission are highly uncommon here. For developers and self-builders, this listing presents the chance to bring a historic rural property into its next chapter.

The site consists of a traditional farmyard layout anchored by a Grade II listed farmhouse.
The building is recorded as “probably early 18th century,” marking it as one of the older surviving structures in the area. A farm outbuilding forms the rest of the yard, representing the plot’s long agricultural use.
The farmhouse appears on the 1846 tithe map and 19th-century OS mapping, showing that the layout has been part of the local landscape for well over a century.
The current 0.61-acre footprint gives developers room to work with both the heritage setting and the approved redevelopment scheme.
Planning permission for 4 new homes
The site is marketed with planning permission granted for four semi-detached dwellings.
Although the listing doesn’t include a published site plan, it confirms consent for replacing the existing farmyard buildings with four new homes.
Because the farmhouse is Grade II listed, any works affecting it will require listed-building consent. However, the presence of an existing planning approval removes a significant amount of uncertainty for anyone looking to deliver a small residential scheme.
Prospective buyers should request the full planning pack from the agent or local authority to review conditions related to layout, access, design requirements and heritage constraints.
