Beech Developments: Gwel Y Castell Phase Two

Beech Developments- Llandudno Junction, Conwy

Located within the heart of Llandudno Junction, Conwy, Gwel Y Castell is a brand new residential housing development from Beech Developments.
Following the successful completion of 45 homes at Gwel Y Castell Phase One, work has now begun on the second phase of the site, bringing additional housing to the development.

Gwel Y Castell Phase Two comprises 36, two, three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached houses and bungalows, all boasting solar thermal energy heating systems and high-quality finishes. The development is being built to meet very stringent standards – as set out in the Code for Sustainable Homes – and forms one of the most energy efficient developments in the area.

Gwel Y Castell is conveniently located close to the historic town of Conwy and near to the A55 trunk route. The site is perfectly serviced by both train and bus services and is close to four golf courses, the new Deganwy Quay Marina and is just half a mile from the national coastal cycle path.

Houses on Gwel Y Castell Phase Two are being constructed using timber frames clad in brick and block with low-maintenance self coloured render, energy efficient double glazed white UPVC windows and permeable paved parking bays. Glow Worm Solar panels and energy efficient boilers will be installed to heat the domestic hot water. Central heating is installed with time and zone control and weather compensation to increase efficiency and reduce running costs.
