We’re offering to help make that dream a reality as we have three parcels of land available as part of The Orchards where people can build their own homes, subject to reserved matters approval of the final design, layout and landscaping, from Mid Devon District Council.”

The self-build homes will need to follow an approved build palette, ensuring harmony with the surrounding homes and natural countryside.

Each of the plots are designed to include two off-road spaces and a single garage.
