New restaurant planned in leafy suburb that has been named one of Wales' best
New restaurant planned in leafy suburb that has been named one of Wales' best Plans have been submitted to turn a former clothes shop in Rhiwbina, Cardiff , into a new Italian deli and restaurant The former Little People Store clothes shop in Rhiwbina, Cardiff, could soon be home to a restaurant (Image: Google Street View) The site of a former baby and children's clothing shop in Cardiff has been earmarked for plans to open a new Italian deli and restaurant. An application to transform the former Little People Store on Heol y Deri, Rhiwbina, is yet to be decided by Cardiff Council and is currently in the consultation phase. However, the applicant's vision for the restaurant has been published on the council's website. David Thomas said the deli side of the business will offer prosciutto, salami , artisan cheeses , olives, olive oil and wine. Never miss a Cardiff story and sign up to our newsletter here. Shedding light on the restaurant, Mr Thomas added: 'I myself will be making use of my eight and half years of experience in Tuscany to cook real authentic Italian recipes using some produce imported directly from Italy and also using the fantastic local producers South Wales has to offer. 'My idea is to use the very same ingredients we use in the restaurant and actually make them available to buy from the on-site deli. 'For example if a customer really enjoyed the cheese or the wine they had that night, they can then also purchase the same produce at the deli to take away with them after their meal.' Article continues below Rhiwbina was recently named one of the best places in Wales to live (Image: Jo Ridout, WalesOnline) Mr Davies also suggested that he would like to work collaboratively with the community and other businesses in the area. In his application to the council, he said he 'would love the opportunity' to work with the allotments adjacent the premises 'to give a… 'farm to table' idea for some items/dishes on the restaurant menu'. The application also hints at the possibility of future working relationships with Wine Republic and Pettigrew Bakery, who also have premises in the suburb that was recently named one of the best places in Wales to live. Mr Thomas said: 'While the business might not be the biggest restaurant in Cardiff I am certainly looking to make it one of the best and offer something that I think really represents real quality and passion.' At the rear of the property, there is parking provision for six vehicles. Article continues below The proposal at the moment is for the business to open from Tuesday to Saturday. However, the applicant said he would like to open up one Sunday every month for an all-Italian style roast dinner and aperitivo.

Rundown three-bed house covered in vegetation on sale in Wales for £450,000
The property in Mumbles, Swansea, has been empty for years and is in a state of disrepair - but it's still on the market for a hefty price tag A dilapidated three-bedroom house in Swansea, hidden amongst lush greenery on a hill, is up for grabs at a staggering £450,000. That's more than double the city's average house price of £212,427, according to housing website Rightmove. The property, which has been vacant for years, may not seem like much with its missing roof slates, worn-out wooden decking and overgrown plot. However, it's located in Mumbles, where the average house price over the past year was £325,058, with detached properties like this one fetching an average of £518,500, as per Rightmove. The real selling point is the breathtaking view across Swansea Bay towards the city centre and the hills beyond, reports Wales Online. You just might need to hack the overgrown vegetation back to see it. Mumbles has always been a sought-after yet pricey place to live. According to Swansea councillor Will Thomas, it's become even more desirable with recent additions such as a new seawall, promenade, 3G sports pitch at Underhill Park, improved park facilities, and road crossings. Cllr Thomas, one of three councillors for the seaside ward, expressed his desire for Mumbles to be an attractive place for all residents, particularly young families, in order to keep local schools bustling. "A lot of Airbnb properties are up for sale since new Welsh Government policies and the 200% council tax in Swansea [for second homes]," he revealed. The house in question, Cairnside, is tucked away off Western Lane and has been listed since May. The estate agents marketing it have labelled Cairnside as a "hidden gem" on a large plot that could either be renovated or demolished and replaced with a new house, subject to necessary permissions. In addition to nearby shops and restaurants, the Blue Flag swimming beach Langland is within walking distance, and beyond that lies Caswell. Local bar owner Harry Gillies praised the former fishing village as a great place to live. "It's fantastic – everything is on your doorstep," he enthused. However, he did acknowledge a minor issue: "But there is a bit of a problem with parking." Mr Gillies, who owns Harry's Bar on Newton Road, added: "It's very busy at the minute. My bar is doing well." First-time buyers may find themselves taken aback by the house prices in Mumbles. Based on an annual survey of earnings by the Office of National Statistics, average salaries in Swansea were £34,871 in April 2024, making an average Mumbles property more than nine times the average wage. But for those lucky enough to secure a home there, the allure is as potent as ever. "Mumbles has always been a sought-after location thanks to its coastal charm, vibrant community, and excellent local amenities but in recent years we have seen demand grow even further," said Ricky Purdy, business partner at Dawsons estate agents, which isn't marketing the Western Lane house. "The new promenade has enhanced the seafront experience, creating a stunning space for walking, cycling, and enjoying the views while the area's restaurants, cafés, and independent shops continue to thrive." Mr Purdy said homes requiring significant work could hold great potential as buyers were investing not just in bricks and mortar but in the location. He added: "It's not just the sales market that sees the allure of Mumbles – our lettings team also see a high demand in those wishing to rent too."

More info A three-bedroom house in Swansea that has fallen into disrepair and is overgrown with vegetation has been put on the market for a staggering £450,000.
