Haven for downsizers in search of an easy life

Home hunters in Devon looking to leave behind their big old draughty house for a comfortable, modern, energy efficient and easy to maintain apartment need look no further than Redrow’s latest development.

The award-winning homebuilder’s Treverbyn venture in Plympton is a downsizer’s paradise, situated within the walls of a Victorian walled garden, making it an unusual and peaceful setting for residents.

Andrea Nippe, area sales manager for Redrow, said: “There are numerous advantages to owning an apartment especially for people moving from a larger or older house. They are low maintenance and secure so they’re great to ‘lock up and leave’ while you jet off for a quick two-week break or six months in sunnier climes.

“We can also offer some great deals to our customers by paying their stamp duty or legal fees or providing fully-fitted carpets in selected plots.

“For those wanting to see apartment living first hand we have a comfortable and relaxing show apartment on site, traditionally designed with downsizers in mind, with a combination of textures and patterns that perfectly complement the furniture and eye catching artwork.”

The stunning apartments at Treverbyn enjoy an open-plan living/dining room and kitchen – perfect for entertaining, and the height of contemporary but practical living. Many also have en-suite to master bedroom and some have walk-out balconies.

Kitchens will be fully fitted with integrated appliances, including stainless steel Smeg oven and hob, plus fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washer-dryer. Properties all come with a designated parking space and the safety benefits of a door entry system. There are lifts in two of the three apartment buildings that make up the development.

The development is set in the idyllic surrounds of Plympton close to the Devonshire countryside. The town itself is famed for its clotted cream and ice cream factory, and is a haven for nature lovers and sports enthusiasts, with a wealth of biking and walking trails available at the nearby Cann woods, and two golf courses within four miles from the development.

It has all the features of a typical country town with a post office, shopping centre, restaurants and plenty of traditional public houses.

With the vibrant city of Plymouth only five miles away, people choosing to live at Treverbyn will never need to travel far for anything they may need. Plymouth boasts excellent road links with the A38, A386 and the A374 leading to Exeter, Barnstaple and the M5. The development is also close to a regular bus route for Plymouth City Centre, where connections for the surrounding towns and villages can be made. And for those with further flung destinations in mind, Plymouth Airport is around twenty minutes drive from your new home.

Dartmoor National Park is close to Plympton making it the ideal place for people looking to explore the surrounding countryside.

There’s currently a choice of one and two-bedroom apartments, with prices from £139,995 to £189,995.
