Ruth Jones seems to have withdrawn her former marital residence in Cardiff from the real estate market, after reducing the price by £50,000 earlier this year.

The 59-year-old star of “Gavin and Stacey,” who penned parts of the beloved BBC series in the luxurious six-bedroom dwelling, initially listed it for £1,150,000 in September 2025, following her separation from David Peet, aged 72.

Located just 10 miles from Barry Island, the mock Tudor home with views over the verdant Roath Park saw its price cut to £1,099,950 in October.

Yet, it seems to have been removed from the estate agent’s listings after not securing a buyer.

The once cozy abode, purchased by the couple for £325,000 in 2001, has been emptied of its furnishings, leaving behind a vacant space.

A neighbor commented: “It’s evident they’re ready to sell and move on. It’s a beautiful house, but the original price was always quite steep.”

‘It is not nice to see it empty so we wish them all the best. Everyone around here knows Ruth and we miss seeing her walk around the park.’

Ruth Jones has appeared to take her former martial home in Cardiff off the market, months after slashing the asking price by £50K

The Gavin and Stacey star, 59, first put it up for sale in September 2025 for £1,150,000 following her split from husband David Peet, 72

The furniture has been cleared out and what was once a cosy home, which the former couple purchased for £325K in 2001, is now an empty shell

Neighbours said fellow star James Corden was a regular visitor as the pair – then relatively unknown – struck gold by writing the beloved comedy series after they first began writing the show in her Cardiff home. 

One said: ‘James was often here even though many people didn’t know who he was. Ruth absolutely loved that house and it will be difficult to leave – although she clearly wants a new start.

‘She and James would wander just down the road to the Jubarah restaurant for a curry – and even based some of their scenes on their experiences around here.

‘Ruth was a lovely neighbour no matter how famous she became. She always asked about the children. David, however, was very much more stand-offish.’

Estate agent Kelvin Francis described it as a ‘handsome, three-storey bay-fronted Edwardian style residence, retaining charm and character, sympathetically extended, choice position overlooking Roath Park recreation fields.’

Since their split Ruth is said to living in a flat near Hyde Park, London, while David  has moved to Vancouver, Canada, to be with his new partner Jayne Charity Cook, 46.

The former couple announced in June that their 26-year marriage was over, claiming they split 18 months ago and are now ‘legally separated’.

Ruth was stepmother to David’s three children from a previous relationship – Fiona, 35, Louise, 33 and Alex, 31 – and the former couple split their time between their two properties in Cardiff and the Scottish Highlands, where they own a holiday home.

Announcing their break-up, they wrote a joint statement, saying: ‘We amicably went our separate ways 18 months ago and are now legally separated. We remain good friends.

‘Since our separation, Ruth is living in London and David is living in Canada, where he is in a new relationship.’

The split had come as a surprise to her industry friends who believed their marriage was one of the safest in showbiz.

An insider told Daily Mail: ‘This has come as a huge shock to people in the industry.

‘They have always been incredibly private, nobody has an indication there were issues between them.’

 They added: ‘The fact David has already moved on suggests the marriage may have been over for some time.

‘You can’t help but feel for Ruth – she’s had such a great year as well professionally.’
