Inglewood

Development Overview

Inglewood is a substantial new build housing development by Persimmon Homes, located off Brixham Road in Paignton, Devon (TQ4 7UT/TQ4 7SP). The overall master plan, which received outline planning permission in April 2021, proposes the delivery of 373 new homes, including a mix of open market properties and affordable housing plots developed in partnership with Stonewater. The development is situated on the southern edge of Paignton, near the English Riviera coastline, bordering open countryside.

The development comprises a range of new build homes suitable for a variety of buyers. Open market properties currently focus on two, three, four, and five-bedroom houses, including semi-detached and detached house types. The current pricing for available open market properties ranges from approximately £329,995 to £510,000. The ‘Sherwood’ house type, a three-bedroom semi-detached property, for instance, is listed from £339,995 (check the developer for current plot-specific prices). The wider development plan includes future community amenities such as a new two-form entry primary school, public open space (including two LEAPS and one NEAP), community areas, and allotments.

Property Details

The new build homes at Inglewood are predominantly two-storey houses, with house types including detached, semi-detached, and terraced options. The design strategy aims to integrate the new buildings with the local architectural character of nearby areas such as Galmpton, White Rock, and Churston. Properties are designed to feature an allocated, off-street parking provision, typically for two vehicles.

Focusing on sustainability, the houses are planned to incorporate green technology, including photovoltaic panels, air-source heat pumps, and electric vehicle charging points for many of the plots. A typical four-bedroom layout includes a large kitchen/dining room on the ground floor with double doors opening onto the rear garden, a separate living room, and a downstairs cloakroom/WC. All new properties come with a standard 2-year Persimmon warranty and a 10-year insurance-backed warranty.

Location Benefits and Transport Links

Inglewood is positioned to offer both coastal access and practical commuter links. Broadsands Beach is located approximately 1.3 miles away and is within easy walking distance. Local day-to-day shopping is accessible, with a nearby ALDI superstore at 1.0 mile and a selection of other supermarkets, including Lidl and Sainsbury's, within a one-mile radius. Educational facilities nearby include White Rock Primary School (1.1 miles) and Roselands Primary School (1.1 miles), in addition to the popular Paignton Academy for older pupils.

For transport, a new roundabout is being implemented on Brixham Road to improve access and traffic flow. The development is well-connected for road users: the A380 provides a direct route to the M5 junction outside Exeter, while the A385 links to the Devon Expressway for connections to Plymouth and the A38. The nearest train station is Paignton (approx. 3.4 miles), which offers direct services to Exeter St David's (approx. 43 minutes), and a 17-minute connection to Newton Abbot for onwards travel. Bus stops near the site provide frequent services into both Paignton and Torquay.

Practical Information

Construction is an ongoing, multi-phase project, with site development and handover projected to run between January 2024 and April 2028. The open market price range for new build homes is £329,995 to £510,000. Interested buyers for two, three, and four-bedroom shared ownership properties should enquire with Stonewater, who are offering plots starting from approximately £108,000 for a 40% share (subject to eligibility criteria).

As a large-volume developer, Persimmon Homes has been awarded the Home Builder's Federation (HBF) 5-star rating for customer satisfaction. However, prospective buyers are advised to review independent customer feedback on the developer, as online platforms frequently contain reports detailing varied build quality and aftercare experiences. Viewing appointments and confirmation of current pricing, specific house types, and reservation incentives are available directly through the developer’s sales office on Brixham Road.
