Brook Vale

Development Overview

Brook Vale is a new build development of 180 high-quality homes located off Juniper Drive in the coastal town of Dawlish, Devon (EX7 0GL). The site is being delivered by Taylor Wimpey, a major UK housebuilder that has been awarded the maximum 5-star rating for customer satisfaction by the Home Builders Federation (HBF), indicating that over 90% of customers would recommend them. While independent feedback on workmanship and aftercare can vary between sites, the company is one of the UK’s largest developers, building approximately 10,000 homes annually. The development is managed by the Taylor Wimpey Exeter division.

Brook Vale offers a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom properties, designed to appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers, and growing families. The current available new build homes range in price from approximately £285,000 to £380,000.

Property Details

The development comprises a stylish range of contemporary house types built to modern, maintenance-light standards. Specific available property types include the two-bedroom semi-detached 'The Benford' (starting from around £285,000), the three-bedroom semi-detached 'The Byford' and 'The Kingdale' (starting from approximately £310,000), and the four-bedroom detached 'The Huxford' (starting from £380,000 for a corner plot position).

Standard energy efficiency features across the homes include the installation of PV panels, triple glazing, and provisions for electric vehicle (EV) charging points, designed to promote sustainability and reduce long-term running costs. Most properties feature allocated parking or driveways. For example, three-bedroom homes typically offer two allocated parking spaces, while the four-bedroom 'Huxford' on Plot 17 benefits from two allocated spaces and a single garage. The 'Kingdale' house type is a traditional double-fronted design that includes a dual-aspect lounge with French doors leading to the rear garden, and an en-suite bathroom to the main bedroom.
