Redrow holds the key in Newton Abbot

Whether you’re looking for somewhere to spend an active retirement, a weekend ‘bolt-hole’ or a place to while away your summer holidays, Redrow has a home to suit in Newton Abbot.

Situated within easy reach of the aptly named “English Riviera”, the new homes at Orleigh Cross provide residents with the perfect base from which to enjoy the stunning countryside on their doorstep or partake in activities such as sailing and water sports nearby.

Vanessa Randall-Short, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), said: “Orleigh Cross is a fantastic place to buy a holiday home, only a short drive from some of Devon’s most spectacular coastline. Buyers can make the most of the idyllic surroundings by taking a relaxing stroll or indulging in one of the many more energetic pastimes on offer in the area.

“It’s also a great place for downsizers who are perhaps looking for a smaller, more manageable home where they can enjoy their retirement at whatever pace they choose.

“By buying a brand new home, you are opting to spend more time relaxing into your new life as we’ve taken care of everything for you. Our new homes are already fitted with the latest statement making kitchens and sleek bathroom suites and, unlike older, second-hand properties, don’t require any costly renovation or maintenance. They also come with the added peace of mind of a 10 year ‘Buildmark’ warranty.

“The development has also been proving popular with investor purchasers keen to take advantage of the excellent rental values that can be achieved in the area.”

Close to Dartmoor National Park and less than a mile from Newton Abbot town centre, Orleigh Cross is ideal for those looking to escape hectic city life but stay within easy reach of a host of local amenities such as shops, pubs and restaurants.

Activities on offer in the locality include sailing, horse riding, cycling, rock climbing, abseiling, waterskiing, kayaking, windsurfing, paintballing and go karting. But equally, for those looking for a more relaxed pace of life, there are many tranquil locations nearby ideal for walks, picnics or a spot of photography.

Available homes include one and two-bedroom apartments, and two, three and four-bedroom houses, priced from just £120,995 to £328,995.

The development offers 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.
