Set in a commanding hillside position on Hardwick Hill, this exceptional development plot offers a rare opportunity to create a striking, contemporary home within one of Chepstow’s most established and sought after residential settings. Occupying a prominent position on the western approach into the town, the site enjoys privacy, elevation and a strong sense of arrival, with views opening eastwards across Chepstow and towards the Severn Estuary.

The plot forms an infill site within the settlement boundary and Conservation Area, screened by mature trees and stone boundary walls, creating a secluded and landscaped setting while remaining highly convenient for the town centre and transport links.

Full planning permission has been granted under planning reference DM/2022/00956, with Monmouthshire County Council approving the scheme on 18th December 2023, for the erection of a detached dwelling and garage.

The approved scheme demonstrates what can be achieved on this unique plot, allowing for the construction of a grand, bespoke family home offering substantial and versatile living accommodation arranged over three floors. The design responds intelligently to the natural slope of the site, presenting a refined presence from Hardwick Hill while stepping down to the rear to maximise space, light and views.

Illustrative designs show generous internal proportions, integrated garaging and parking, and a strong connection between the living spaces and the gardens through terraces and glazing. These designs are indicative and can be adapted or refined to suit a purchaser’s own architectural vision, internal layout preferences or build specification, subject to the relevant consents.

The site extends to approximately 750 sq m and benefits from secluded gardens, established boundaries and an existing access. Based on the approved scheme and comparable values within the area, the development offers a gross development value of around £900,000, depending on the final size, specification and finish of the completed home.

Hardwick Hill is one of Chepstow’s most recognisable addresses, characterised by a mix of elegant period homes and individual architectural styles. The location combines a sense of privacy and maturity with excellent accessibility.

Chepstow town centre is close at hand, offering a wide range of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and amenities, along with schooling and leisure facilities. The railway station provides direct links to Bristol and Cardiff, while road connections via the A48 and M48 make this an ideal base for commuters.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Wye Valley and the Severn Estuary, the area offers outstanding walking and outdoor opportunities, reinforcing the appeal of this plot as the setting for a long term, lifestyle focused home.

Before requesting a viewing, we encourage you to explore all the marketing materials we’ve provided. Take a good look the photos, floorplan, video, map and any land plans provided. If possible, we also suggest driving by the property or using Google Street View to get a feel for the area and check if it’s the right spot for you.

Just let us know if that works better for you!

Property Information

All measurements, floorplans, and land plans are there to give you a rough idea, and are approximate. While we’ve done our best to make sure everything is accurate, we recommend double-checking the details with your solicitor. We haven’t tested any of the services or appliances, so we can’t guarantee they’re in working order. The photos are for marketing purposes, so please don’t assume that everything you see is included with the property. Some fixtures and fittings may also be available by separate negotiation. We’re committed to ensuring you have all the info you need to make an informed decision when buying a property. However, it’s essential that all details are verified by your solicitor, and everything we’ve provided is given in good faith, based on information from our sellers and our own research.

Services

From time to time, we might recommend third-party services like mortgages, legal advice, or surveys. In most cases, we don’t get any financial incentives for doing this, but there may be a few instances where we do. Rest assured, anyone using a recommended provider won’t receive preferential treatment and it won't affect their position or priority over other interested parties. Their choice is always their own.
