Ruth Jones slashes price on former marital home after split

Gavin & Stacey co-creator Ruth Jones has made a significant reduction to the asking price of her former marital home in Cardiff, slashing £75,000 from the property's value following her separation from husband David Peet after 25 years of marriage.

Price Drop Amid Personal Changes

The charming four-bedroom detached house in the sought-after Cyncoed area of Cardiff is now on the market for £850,000, down from its original asking price of £925,000. The property, which boasts a spacious garden and modern interiors, served as the couple's family home before their separation was announced earlier this year.

A Family Home with Celebrity History

The elegant residence features multiple reception rooms, a contemporary kitchen, and ample living space that witnessed the creation of some of Britain's most beloved comedy moments. Jones, 57, and Peet, who tied the knot in 1999, shared many years in the property while Jones worked on various television projects including her breakthrough role in Gavin & Stacey.

The couple released a joint statement earlier this year confirming their separation, emphasising that they remain close friends and will continue to work together professionally. Their production company, Tidy Productions, continues to operate successfully despite the personal changes.

Property Features and Local Appeal

The Cyncoed property offers:

  • Four generous bedrooms with built-in storage
  • Multiple reception rooms perfect for entertaining
  • A modern, fully-equipped kitchen with dining area
  • Spacious private garden with mature planting
  • Prime location in one of Cardiff's most desirable suburbs

Local estate agents note that the price adjustment reflects current market conditions while making the property more accessible to potential buyers in the competitive Cardiff housing market.

Continuing Professional Success

Despite the personal transition, Jones continues to enjoy professional success, with recent projects including the return of Gavin & Stacey for a Christmas special and other television ventures. The property sale marks a new chapter for both Jones and Peet as they navigate their separate lives while maintaining their professional partnership.
