Westcountry housebuilder Cavanna Homes is preparing to begin construction work at four new sites across Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset, with a further ten sites in the pipeline.

The new developments, containing a mixture of open market and affordable housing, will be built in phases on sites across the South West, with demand for new homes expected to remain strong.

The forthcoming developments, which when combined will deliver over 700 homes, will be in Bickington and North Molton in North Devon, Beaminster in West Dorset and Wembdon in Bridgwater.

Construction work continues at the firm’s three developments in Exeter, and its communities in Bude and Holsworthy. Popular sites in Tavistock and Hemyock will be completed later this year.

In 2023, which was Cavanna Homes’ centenary year, the Torbay headquartered business recorded sales income of £54m, handing over 106 open market homes and 112 social homes.

James Stride, Director of Construction said: “Unusually we delivered more affordable housing than open market homes last year. However, this is an important contribution to help alleviate the housing need in the South West, and can only be achieved by developers and local authorities working together to build quality new homes.”

Cavanna Homes was praised in two prestigious industry awards in 2023. It made the shortlist in the annual Housebuilder Awards in the category ‘Best Design for Three Storeys and Under’, for the development Broadleigh Park in Tavistock. Cavanna @ Wolborough Hill in Newton Abbot was a finalist in the category ‘Residential Project of the Year (35 Homes and Under)’ at the Michelmores Property Awards.

Focused on strengthening its senior team, the firm appointed Alan Bray, Director of Commercial, Sophie Aylott, People and Culture Manager, and Hayley Mills, Head of Customer Services. Three apprentices were also taken on at the end of the year, reflecting Cavanna’s commitment to the next generation of housebuilding professionals.

Grayham Tucker, who became Group Managing Director at the beginning of 2023 said: “It was a privilege to join Cavanna Homes in its centenary year and steer the business through some challenging times, completing the year with a set of strong sales figures.

“The challenges, caused by external factors including increases in borrowing costs and issues around government housebuilding targets, are likely to continue through 2024 but I believe the great team at Cavanna is well-placed to deal with them.”

The whole Cavanna team came together regularly during 2023 to support Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) by way of a sponsored cycle ride, themed lunches, dress down days and raffles.

Since 2019 the firm has raised over £100,000 for the charity and in December it announced that colleagues had unanimously backed the decision to make CHSW its official Charity Partner.

Following a rush of sales, the Yorkshire division of national homebuilder, Bellway is readying the sold-out signs at its Barleycorn Way development in South Cave.

The homebuilder has sold 91 of its 95 homes on the development and interest in the final four is sky-high. In addition, its other nearby developments in Anlaby, Kirk Ella and Brough are all selling fast.

Emma Fitton-Cook, Bellway Yorkshire’s sales manager, said: “The interest in homes in South Cave and the other West Hull villages is sky high and its’s easy to understand why there is such demand. Barleycorn Way has an idyllic charm with a balance of history and beautiful rural outlooks to a bustling village centre with a lovely outdoor market and choice of traditional pubs and restaurants.”

Being constructed in a peaceful setting off Little Wold Lane, Barleycorn Way is within easy walking distance of South Cave’s village centre. It features a host of excellent local amenities, and as with all of Bellway’s West Hull developments, it is only a short drive away from Hull city centre and all it has to offer. 

Each property remains true to Bellway’s five-star vision for modern day living with contemporary, open-plan design, high-spec fixtures and fittings and attractive open spaces within the development.

“Only four homes remain on the development, and they all offer something different,” added Emma. “With a lot of the homes now occupied, it really is easy to see what life will be like on Barleycorn Way. There are several well-regarded schools in the area and a lovely little Vineyard a short walk from the development.”

Bellway is currently running a cashback scheme for reservations made before January 31^st offering up to £25,000. This scheme is open to all, but in particular benefits first time buyers who will receive 5% of the house asking price deducted from the final settlement figure on the day of legal completion. Terms and conditions apply.

Prices on the remaining houses at Barleycorn Way range from£374,995 for a four-bed Aspley, to £399,995 for a four-bed Forester.
