Seymour Place

Development Overview

Seymour Place, developed by Bovis Homes (part of the Vistry Group), is a new build property development located on Heol Gwyndaf in the semi-rural village of Undy, Monmouthshire (NP26 3FZ). The development comprises a collection of energy-efficient homes, primarily offering 2, 3, and 4-bedroom new build properties. Available house types typically include detached, semi-detached, and terraced designs, situated in a location that balances countryside access with robust commuter links. Indicative Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings are generally 'B', which, according to the Home Builders Federation, can result in savings on heating bills compared to older properties. Potential buyers should note that while the developer holds a 5-star HBF customer satisfaction rating, providing assurance that over 90% of customers would recommend them, historical reports have noted past issues with build quality and snagging resolution, making thorough pre-completion checks advisable.

Property Details

Properties at Seymour Place are offered as freehold and designed for modern family living, with a typical estate charge estimated at approximately £250 per annum. The housing mix includes diverse layouts such as the 'Willow', a 3-storey, 4-bedroom detached house featuring a large bay window to the sitting room and an open-plan kitchen/dining area with bi-fold doors opening to the garden. Other named house styles, like the 'Cypress', 'Spruce', 'Rowan', 'Hawthorn', 'Magnolia', 'Chestnut', and 'Aspen', offer variations of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom layouts. Standard features across the new build homes include spacious bedrooms, some with en-suite bathrooms, and flexible living spaces such as a dedicated study area. All homes are constructed with energy efficiency as a core feature.

Location Benefits and Transport Links

Undy is positioned 10 miles east of Newport, 24 miles from Cardiff, and 23 miles from Bristol, offering strong connectivity for commuters via the M4 motorway, with no tolls on the Severn bridges since late 2018.
