Buy a new apartment in Newton Abbot for less

Redrow's sizzling new apartments close to one of the UK’s most picturesque coastlines now have an added attraction.

The contemporary one and two-bedroom designs at Orleigh Cross in Newton Abbot, Devon, are all free from stamp duty for first time buyers as they fall well below the new £250,000 threshold for would-be home owners.

Hannah Newnes, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), said: “Our apartments at Orleigh Cross can offer home buyers the laid back lifestyle they crave in a beautiful area of the country.

“The properties are brand new so there are no repairs or renovations required. Buyers can simply move in and start enjoying life, with the stunning Devon coastline just five miles from their doorstep.

“We’ve listened to what our buyers look for in a home and translated that into our apartment designs, which include cleverly laid out spacious rooms, a plethora of storage options and some seriously stylish features like our floor to ceiling kitchen units in contrasting finishes and our modern white bathroom suites.

“In addition, all the homes are built to modern energy efficient standards and are designed to be easy to maintain and keep clean.”

Less than a mile from Newton Abbot town centre, the apartments are perfect for young professionals, holiday home-owners and the early or active retired, who are looking to escape the hectic city life or indulge in a few of the many leisure activities that are available in the area.

There’s easy access to the M5, while Newton Abbot train station is around a mile away and has regular direct services to Exeter and Torquay. Close by there is a good choice of primary and secondary schools, as well as leisure and health facilities.

One-bedroom apartments are available from £124,995 – free of stamp duty for all - with two-bedroom coach house designs priced from £141,995.
