Award-Winning New Build

Winner of the Best Residential Development at the UK Property Awards, 2017, The Close is a contemporary development of six houses for Freeman Homes in Llangrove, Monmouth. The design ethos focussed on sustainability and low maintenance with undemanding, well landscaped gardens, colour-through render, pressure treated, timber cladding and powder-coated, aluminium windows all requiring virtually zero-maintenance. Heating and hot water is delivered by an air source heat pump located outside each property. The result of this isrenewable, cost effective, low maintenance energy. The simple palette of materials, with predominately stone and timber boundaries, nestle the scheme into its context and adds to the essence of the development portraying community, security and a understated quality.
