New homes planned for Shebbear

A new homes development will be opening off Barn Close in Shebbear, a small rural village in North Devon. The development has been called Mill Fields for marketing purposes, which Shebbear Parish Council helped to name. Midas Homes' new development will comprise 32 new one and two bedroom apartments, plus two, three and four bedroom homes.

The homes will be built to a high specification, including a contemporary kitchen with stainless steel integrated appliances and stylish white sanitaryware.

Helen Biram from Midas Homes said: "Mill Fields is going to be a fantastic new development and we have already received a number of enquiries. We are asking anyone interested in the new homes to contact us so we can arrange an appointment."

Shebbear boasts a good pub, The Devil's Stone Inn, a village shop which oozes local charm and Shebbear College is nearby.

There is also an interesting tradition that takes place every 5th November, where the villagers of Shebbear turn ‘the Devil's Stone' to keep Shebbear safe for another year. There is a great deal of mystery that surrounds the six foot long stone, as it is not known how long the practice of turning the stone has been going on for, or how it arrived in the village!

Preliminary work has started and the entrance to the site has been created for presentation and practical purposes, and the first homes are due for completion from autumn 2008, finishing in summer 2009.
