Persimmon Homes is about to launch new homes on the edge of Exeter, as work gets under way on phase two of a popular development.

Buyers have already flocked to live at Ashworth Place being built by Persimmon Homes South West, just five miles from the city.

Work has now begun on the next phase which will provide a selection of homes to suit all buyers, from first-time, to professional couples, growing families and down-sizers.

Stacey Harris, head of sales for Persimmon Homes South West, says she expects the new homes to sell quickly once they are launched this weekend.

“We have built 160 homes already at Ashworth Place and they have proved very popular. All the properties have contemporary finishes to the exterior, and the interiors offer spacious solutions to meet the requirements of modern-day life.

“There has been huge interest in Ashworth Place and we have seen a mixture of purchasers attracted to the development, including a lot of second time buyers looking for a modern airy home.

“Around 265 new homes will be built on this phase offering a collection of two, three and four-bedroom homes which combine all the attractions of rural living, but with a thriving city and all its amenities on the doorstep. This stunning rural location benefits from a brand-new town centre, complete with local shops, schools, businesses and a multi- purpose community building.

Stacey added: “Once a plot is reserved, buyers can start adding their own style and personality to every room with our range of styling options, upgrades and additional fixtures. This is the chance for customers to visualise their perfect living space and create their very own dream home from day one.

“Their choices will be added to their home at various stages of the build process, meaning the earlier the plot is reserved the greater the selection available.

The stunning Chedworth style showhome, exhibits a modern and stylish open plan kitchen/family room - perfect for spending time as a family and entertaining. There's also a well-proportioned living room, separate dining room, downstairs cloakroom and handy utility with outside access. Upstairs there are four bedrooms - bedroom one has an en-suite - a large family-sized bathroom and a storage cupboard.
