About Edgefold Homes | Edgefold Homes

Meet Jack Seddon, our Managing Director

If the name of our Managing Director, Jack Seddon, sounds reassuringly familiar, it’s because he hails from the Seddon family, representing five generations of building industry experience and 120 years of construction heritage, innovation and integrity.

Today, the Edgefold Homes team carries forward this proud tradition with a mix of trusted construction techniques and bold contemporary design flourishes. Every brick, floor plan and perfectly designed fitting is built on the same solid foundations and shaped by the same values, beliefs and dedication to detail that has defined our family history.

Building on 120 year foundations – where it all began

Edgefold Homes has a rich construction heritage – underpinned by family values and a strong social conscience.

1897

Our origins date back to 1897 when brothers George and John Seddon, left the coal mines and founded their own business, equipped only with a handcart and their ambition.

1920s

In 1920 G & J Seddon became a limited company and throughout the post-war era provided much needed employment and construction expertise during a time of recovery.

1960s – 1970s

With the growth of social housing in the 60s and 70s house building became a key focus for the Seddon business as their social conscience came to the fore.

Over the years the Seddon family name became synonymous with quality, integrity and a willingness to quote competitively.

2009

Through hard work and strategic acquisition, the original small business grew into a much larger, diverse entity with separate divisions for construction, maintenance and plant hire.

2013

In 2013 the Seddon Group reorganised and restructured and 6 years on from that in the April of 2019 the George & Stephen Seddon branch added another string to their bow in the house building sector, Edgefold Homes.

Today the company operates as a totally independent trading entity but still under the ownership of the Seddon family to the same set of family values and beliefs, led by fifth-generation Seddon family members.

I'm really happy I chose to buy my new house from Edgefold Homes. I'm very pleased with the build quality and the attention to detail. I love the location and outlook and my favourite room is the open plan kitchen. It's great buying from a small developer and getting to know everyone in the team. Thank you to Kirstie for all your help during the buying process, and to Jack for providing a good after-sales service.

We love the location and tranquil setting of Alderwood Gardens, it is so peaceful and quiet and the neighbours are all lovely. Our experience with Edgefold Homes has been effortless, we found them really easy to deal with and very professional and helpful even from a very early stage. They give a very personalised service and as a customer they made us feel valued. The attention to detail and well thought out design makes our home feel very spacious and we particularly like the large garden and large driveway of our Edgefold Home.

Lisa and Stefan, Alderwood Gardens

Edgefold Homes have been really helpful and supportive - they've held my hand throughout. With being on my own through the journey, they were really good, letting me come and see the house multiple times, measuring, looking at different carpets and helped me decide how I wanted to craft my house to be my perfect little place to live.

Charlie, Alderwood Gardens

The purchasing journey with Edgefold Homes was very straightforward. Having been new-build homeowners before, we knew the process could be stressful, but this time was different. Kirstie literally held our hand throughout the journey, breaking down every step that was going to happen and keeping us up to date. She truly took the stress out of purchasing a home.

Joanne and Aaron - Hazelfield Gardens

We recently bought our first home with Edgefold Homes, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. As first-time buyers, we had plenty of questions, but the team was always there to guide us and put our minds at ease. From the initial visit to the final handover, everything was handled with care and professionalism. The quality of our new home is fantastic, and we really feel like we've made the right choice. We would happily recommend Edgefold Homes to anyone, especially other first-time buyers like us.
