New homes attract early interest ahead of January launch
An attractive new housing development in North Devon is set to officially open its doors on Saturday 24 January, following significant early interest from prospective buyers.
Allison Homes South West will launch its new Tarka Coombe development in Landkey later this month, giving local house hunters the chance to experience an exclusive first look at two brand-new show homes: The Lyndale, a three-bedroom detached home, and The Oakdale, a four-bedroom detached home.
The launch comes amid growing confidence in the housing market. In December, Rightmove recorded its busiest-ever Boxing Day for visits, with traffic doubling between Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Industry experts say this surge reflects renewed confidence among buyers following recent economic uncertainty, with many now looking to make their move in this new year.
The development will deliver 105 new homes, alongside 45 affordable properties, helping meet demand for high-quality housing in the area and supporting local people looking to stay close to family, work and amenities.
David Hnyda, Sales Director at Allison Homes South West, said: “We’ve seen a really positive response to Tarka Coombe from people in and around Landkey and Barnstaple. There’s a clear appetite for well-designed new homes locally, and the level of early interest reflects that.
“The launch of our show homes and sales on site is an exciting milestone and gives buyers a chance to see exactly what’s on offer in terms of space, quality and location We’re expecting a busy opening weekend.”
Homes at Tarka Coombe have been designed with energy efficiency in mind, expected to achieve EPC ‘B’ ratings, with electric vehicle charging points available on selected properties. The wider development will also include six hectares of green space, enhancing the nearby Millennium Green with play areas, new planting and wildlife habitats.
The site is within walking distance of local amenities including a shop, pub, post office, community centre and primary school, while nearby transport links connect residents to Barnstaple, Exeter and beyond.
Those interested in attending the launch event at Tarka Coombe on Saturday 24 January are encouraged to email tarkacoombe@allison-homes.com or phone 01271 233 257.
