Community begins to take shape in Okehampton

Late summer will see the first residents moving into Broome Park, Barratt Homes’ attractive new development on the edge of the historic market town of Okehampton in Devon. Launched last December, this collection of two, three and four-bedroom homes is proving to be very popular.

Twelve homes have already been sold and only one of two coach houses is still for sale, at an asking price of £158,500.

“The development is really starting to take shape now and we have a nice mixture of styles, with some properties built in traditional stone and some in render, to blend in with the local surroundings,” said Christine Fisher, Barratt Homes sales negotiator.

“All the homes are freehold and, in addition to the coach house which is always popular, we can offer semi-detached, link detached, detached and town houses. We’ve attracted a lot of families – some local and some from outside the area – and quite a few buyers are commuters.

“The development has a lot to offer because of its superb location. It’s within a short walking distance of Okehampton and yet it is close to the natural beauty of Dartmoor. Also, there’s easy access to larger towns like Exeter,” Christine added.

In fact, Broome Park is positioned close to the B3260 and A30, ensuring an easy half-hour journey to Exeter by car or bus, and Exeter Airport is just 31 miles away. The town of Okehampton offers a wealth of amenities – including supermarkets, schools, a leisure centre, golf course, pubs and restaurants and excellent farmers’ markets.

Current prices at Broome Park start from £192,950 for a three-bedroom end terrace house with garage. For more information, log on to Barratthomes.co.uk.
