Councillor Mrs Anne Johnson, Mayor of Tavistock joined leading partnerships specialist, Vistry Partnerships to formerly open the doors to the brand-new show homes at The Tors in Tavistock.

Vistry Partnerships have partnered with the south west’s largest housing provider, LiveWest to develop and build the new homes in the town. The homes will be sold under the Bovis Homes brand and will form part of the new development, named The Tors, which will provide 399 new homes, including homes for affordable rent, shared ownership and outright sale.

The partnership welcomed Councillor Johnson to join them in celebration as they officially opened the doors to two beautiful new show homes and a brand-new sales and marketing suite for homebuyers to visit and discover the homes available.

Councillor Mrs Anne Johnson, Mayor of Tavistock commented: “I am pleased to join the team in celebration of their new sales presence and show homes. Having suggested the street names with my son early in the development process, it is good to see the new homes coming to life. I look forward to seeing the homes progress and the community build, offering opportunities for the people of Tavistock.”

With Dartmoor on the doorstep, the show homes and their surroundings are inspired by the rural location, designed to replicate the beauty of the moors. The two show home’s have been designed to appeal to an array of buyers, The Spruce, a modern 3 bedroom dual fronted home, designed for modern lifestyles features a home office and plenty of space for entertaining. In contrast, The Aspen, is an impressive 4 bedroom detached home perfect for family life, with a traditional vibe created with a muted palette and clever use of textures to mirror the breath-taking surroundings.

Our range of homes at The Tors offer something for everyone, from 2 bed homes for those just starting out, to spacious homes for growing families and styles perfect for downsizing. With prices from £199,995 now is the perfect time to for homebuyers looking to find their dream home and explore the wide range of purchase assistance schemes available to make that dream a reality.

Sitting beside the pretty River Tavy and within easy reach of Dartmoor National park, Tavistock is a popular market town. Today its range of independent shops sits alongside the 900 year old pannier market. With pubs, restaurants, leisure and sports facilities, as well as schools, health centres and supermarkets, Tavistock offers everything you need.

Chief Executive of Vistry Partnerships, Stephen Teagle commented; “As someone who lives in the area, it gives me an immense sense of pride to reach this stage of development at The Tors. Working with Livewest, we’re creating a fantastic new community with a range of mixed tenure homes. This means there are genuine opportunities for all to live here, and that’s exactly what new communities should offer.”

Russell Baldwinson, Executive Director of Development for LiveWest, said: “We are delighted to be involved with this exciting new housing development in Tavistock. Delivering new affordable homes in West Devon and, in particularly Tavistock, is of significant importance to LiveWest having successfully merged with affordable housing provider West Devon Homes in 2015.

“Our involvement in this project has enabled the level of affordable housing being delivered to be increased from 17% to 30%, which has been achieved through significant financial investment by ourselves supported by grant subsidy from Homes England. What is particularly pleasing about this approach is it will enable more families, who could not ordinarily afford to buy a new home at this development, to access new housing for rent and discounted sale.”
