The covetable Kennaway Apartments
H
ere in Exeter and East Devon, new housing developments are springing up all over the map and, whatever your feelings about them, they’re changing the geographical and social landscape forever. Maybe you’re in the market for a brand new build yourself, or have relatives visiting over Christmas and New Year who want to live closer to you, or perhaps you’re just curious. Either way, we’ve collated 21 significant new sites (there are others out there, in various stages of fruition) for you to take a squizz at this holiday season, between your lazy breakfasts, festive telly and drinks parties.
1
THE CRESCENT & THE SQUARE
Many developers have cottoned on to the charms of Ottery St Mary recently, and the fact it offers buyers the best of both worlds: a rural community plus easy access to Exeter. Homes in Feniton Park’s classy ‘boutique estate’ range from £199.5k for a two-bedroom house to £355k for the three-bedroom showhome.

SEAWARD PARK
Named by local schoolchildren (aww), this collection of high spec two to five-bedroom homes in Clyst St George is rather special. The cottagey Beechwood looks like it should belong to the National Trust.
