About this home
Description
The site is approximately 2.93 hectares and lies on the South Eastern edge of Exmouth, to the south of Douglas Avenue and to the west of the Plumb Park development, within the Littleham Valley.
The Planning Permission is for 44 new homes with 25% affordable. The final housing mix will be determined at the detailed stage, however, it is expected that it will comprise a variety of dwelling types and sizes to offer a broad range of accommodation, ranging from 1 to 4 bedroom homes. The design has been driven by the topography of the site and led by a strong landscape approach that allows the residential development to sit within generous landscape and ecological buffers to the boundaries.
Situation
Exmouth is the third largest town in Devon with a population of 34,432 (in the 2021 census). The town has around 3 miles of golden sands and is surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside. The town has an excellent range of leisure, recreational and sports facilities with a good thriving shopping centre and a variety of restaurants, pubs and cafes, including Mickey's beach bar and restaurant which is owned by Michelin- star chef Michael Caines.
Exmouth is easily accessible as it is only 12 miles south of the Cathedral City of Exeter. Exeter provides a connection to the M5 motorway and A30. There is also a mainline train station providing regular links to London Paddington and Waterloo.
The site is also within easy access of Budleigh Salterton which boasts almost two miles of a very pleasant pebble beach, local facilities and a range of clubs and social groups. Woodbury Park Golf & Country Club is only a couple of miles away with an excellent Championship golf course, hotel and sports club and Woodbury Common is within walking distance with trailed walks and excellent riding and bridle paths.
