About Seaham Garden Village
Development Overview Seaham Garden Village is a new build homes development by Taylor Wimpey, strategically located in Cold Hesledon, Seaham, County Durham (SR7 8FF), close to the A19. This first phase by Taylor Wimpey consists of 182 energy-efficient properties, forming part of a wider masterplan alongside developers Karbon Homes and Miller Homes, which will ultimately deliver 1,500 new homes to Garden Village standards. The overall vision dedicates almost 50% of the site to green open space and landscaped areas, including extensive parkland, a football pitch, play areas, and over three miles of landscaped paths and cycleways.
Future plans for the wider village centre include a new primary school, commercial and community facilities, a café, and a community hub with a gym. Property Details The development offers a selection of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom new build homes designed for modern, flexible living. Prices start from £174,995 for a two-bedroom property. Specific available property types include the two-bedroom semi-detached Avonsford from £174,995, the three-bedroom end-of-terrace Eynsford from £234,995, and larger four-bedroom detached designs such as The Chalham (£319,995) and The Kitham (£379,995). All homes are built with a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, featuring integrated PV solar panels, triple-glazed windows, and electric vehicle (EV) charging points as standard. Typical four-bedroom homes like 'The Corkham' benefit from an integral garage, a utility room, and an en-suite to the main bedroom. All properties within the Taylor Wimpey phase are Freehold.
