Devon house buyers spoilt for choice with Taylor Wimpey's diverse portfolio

For house buyers in Devon, Taylor Wimpey currently has a fantastic choice of new developments across the county, offering a choice of new homes in rural, semi-rural and town centre locations.

Town centre locations

Just two miles from Plymouth's lively city centre, Penlee offers all the benefits of city living while also being close to lovely countryside. The development is made up of a wide range of property styles to suit a variety of different lifestyles, priced from £299,995 to £384,995. With solar panels as standard, and high-specification features such as electric garage doors and a burglar alarm, these homes offer convenient, contemporary living. There are excellent schools in the area for families with children, and commuters can take advantage of Plymouth station's rail services, on the main London to Penzance line - while by road there is direct access to major A-roads and the motorway network via the A38. When it comes to leisure time, Derriford Health and Leisure Centre is close by; scenic Dartmoor National Park is a short drive away; and Dartmoor Zoo is only about nine miles away.

Another option in the vibrant city of Plymouth is Warleigh Village, a collection of contemporary new homes close to a parade of local shops and banks, and near newly-created public open spaces. A park-and-ride service is close by, linking the development with the city centre, and the local area is home to a range of schools for families with children - with the possibility of new schools being built in the area in the future. Buyers interested in this development may need to move fast, however, as there are just a few three- and four-bedroom properties still available, ranging in price from £169,995 to £269,995.

Rural and semi-rural settings

In the quaint village of Chillington, at the heart of the lovely South Hams area, Helmers Meadow is a small collection of three- and four-bedroom houses for sale, priced from £229,995 to £429,995. Built using local materials including natural stone and slate, these new homes have parking, garages and private gardens and enjoy a rural location with views across the valley. There is an excellent range of village amenities close by, while Slapton beach and and Slapton Ley Nature Reserve are just a few minutes' drive away, and both Kingsbridge and Dartmouth are within easy reach.

For those who love the outdoors, Taylor Wimpey's Monterey Park development is situated on the edge of the characterful rural town of Bovey Tracey, gateway to beautiful Dartmoor, set in a pleasant, leafy location. The development includes two-bedroom apartments and two- to five-bedroom houses with allocated parking, garages and private gardens - all within walking distance of the town centre. The centre is home to a good range of shops and amenities including a swimming pool, a leisure centre, a golf course, a cinema, and a good range of independent stores, pubs and cafés.

For families, the area offers a wide range of well-known schools for boys and girls of all ages, including primary and secondary schools and South Dartmoor Community College. For commuters, the M5 at Junction 35 is about 13 miles away, while nearby Newton Abbot's railway station offers services to London Paddington (3 hours), Reading (2 hours and 40 minutes), Bristol (1 hour and 30 minutes) and Plymouth (45 minutes).
