16no. new dwellings, including 4no. Affordable, within the village development boundary of Burrington.
Located to the northern edge of Burrington village, Meadow Rise is a greenfield site in a pleasant rural location with good links to Exeter and to the south and Barnstaple to the north via the train station at Kings Nympton just 2.5 miles away. Burrington has a village hall, small shop / Post Office, recreation area and is surrounded by glorious countryside. Primary and secondary schools are found in Chumleigh which is only 4 miles away.
The aim was to create “comfortable country living” with good quality homes and a development that has a sense of character and place. The 12 open market homes and 4no. Affordable are arranged around a village green with pond, (a drainage feature but also something that will encourage wildlife / biodiversity). The emphasis is on space, both as a whole and in terms of the individual properties – all have much larger gardens than typical housing developments.
The scheme was designed to be attractive to buyers in the current post Covid world with all of the open market homes having the option to have an office building in the garden, (an optional extra), to allow for home working. The homes themselves are designed to the latest specifications to give excellent thermal performance and eco/ green elements including EV charging points, solar panels, battery storage etc, to achieve low running costs for residents and achieve a better standard in sustainability.
