Description

THE SITE

This development site is located to the north of a quiet cul-de-sac, 'Beverley Way', which is set off Totnes Road on the south-western side of Newton Abbot, and benefits from detailed planning approval for the development of five new detached houses. A new footpath and entrance to the land was completed in August 2026 by Devon Country Council.

The total gross floor area of the new development is suggested to extend to c. 985sqm (GIA ranges from c. 174sqm (Plots 4&5) - 189sqm (Plots 1,2&3). Each of the new dwellings will be accessed off Beverley Way (an adopted highway) and have an entrance level comprising a garage and a carport, open plan kitchen/diner, living room, utility room and WC, with stairs leading to a lower ground floor with three bedrooms (master en-suite) plus bathroom. On the upper level, a further two bedrooms (both en-suite) are proposed. Each of the new dwellings will offer future owners a good sized rear garden facing to the north west towards National Trust owned land beyond.
