Romansfield, Okehampton, Devon: New Build Homes by Redrow

Development Overview

Romansfield is a new build homes development by Redrow, located at 4 Fort Road in the traditional market town of Okehampton, Devon (EX20 1GJ). The scheme comprises a mix of three and four-bedroom family houses, delivered as part of Redrow’s Arts and Crafts-inspired Heritage Collection. The development is situated approximately one mile from the heart of Okehampton town centre, providing a blend of modern, energy-efficient new build living and easy access to local amenities and Dartmoor National Park. Developer Redrow Homes holds a top five-star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), which they have maintained for seven consecutive years, with over 90% of customers stating they would recommend them to a friend.

Property Details

House types at Romansfield typically fall into the three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached categories. Earlier phases of the development featured specific house types such as 'The Warwick' (three-bedroom) and 'The Shaftesbury' (four-bedroom detached). For an indication of value, a four-bedroom detached Shaftesbury was last listed with a price point of approximately £395,000.

The Heritage Collection designs focus on traditional exteriors coupled with modern, family-focused interiors. For example, the four-bedroom detached 'Shaftesbury' house type includes an en-suite master bedroom, a separate utility room, and an integral garage. The four-bedroom 'Marlow' house type features optional fitted wardrobes in two bedrooms, alongside a utility room and integrated garage. Prospective buyers should be aware that many house types, including The Warwick, The Oxford, and The Shaftesbury, are currently listed as sold out, indicating that the development is nearing completion. Current availability and specific pricing must be confirmed directly with the Redrow sales team.

Location and Transport

Romansfield offers exceptional connectivity for a rural Devon location. Road access is facilitated by the nearby A30 major trunk road, placing both Exeter and Plymouth within easy reach. A significant benefit for commuters is the reopened Okehampton railway station and the Dartmoor Line, which provides a direct rail link to Exeter in approximately 40 minutes, with an hourly service. The town is also known as the 'Gateway to Dartmoor National Park', offering immediate access to extensive outdoor recreational space.

Local Amenities and Services

The development is highly practical for families, located adjacent to the new St James Church of England Primary and Nursery School, which opened its new premises on land off Crediton Road in 2019. Secondary education is served by Okehampton College (Mill Road, EX20 1PW), an 11-18 co-educational academy.

Shopping and dining options are comprehensive within the town centre, approximately one mile distant. This area hosts three major supermarkets, alongside a collection of independent businesses. The pedestrianised Red Lion Yard precinct includes specific businesses such as Graylings Fish & Chips, Red Lion Cafe, Harvest Farm Shop, and independent retailers like Dartmoor Yarn. Further retail options include national chains like Peacocks Fashion and the rural-focused Mole Avon store.
