It’s New Homes Week, the annual celebration of all things new-build, and the perfect time to spotlight the many advantages of buying brand new: from energy efficiency and contemporary design to lower maintenance costs and future-proofed living.
At Marchand Petit, we’re proud to partner with some of the region’s most respected developers to deliver exceptional new homes across the South Hams. From first-time buyers and growing families to those dreaming of a bespoke build, our portfolio reflects a wide range of lifestyles, aspirations and living experiences, all rooted in some of Devon’s most desirable locations…
Collaton Park
Set within the rolling landscapes of the South Devon National Landscape, Collaton Park is redefining modern rural living. This multi-award-winning development near Newton Ferrers blends contemporary architecture with a strong commitment to sustainability, creating a community that feels both forward-thinking and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.
Each home is designed with the future in mind, incorporating EV charging points, solar panels and air-source heat pumps as standard. Beyond the homes themselves, residents enjoy 12 acres of beautifully landscaped valley parkland, offering a rare sense of space, openness and connection to nature, elevating Collaton Park from a housing development into a true lifestyle destination.
The scheme is a collaboration between Pillar Land Securities and Coln Signature Homes, whose shared philosophy places quality, craftsmanship and community engagement at the heart of every project. Their approach goes beyond bricks and mortar, focusing on creating places that people genuinely want to live in, not just today, but for generations to come.
Green Park
Tucked into the tranquil village landscape of Chillington, Green Park offers a quieter, more considered approach to modern living. This exclusive collection of bespoke low-carbon homes is designed for those seeking calm, flexibility and sustainability in equal measure.
Rather than imposing rigid layouts, each home is created to adapt to changing lifestyles, whether that means home working, multi-generational living or simply the freedom to shape your space as life evolves. The emphasis is on long-term liveability: homes that grow with you, rather than restrict you.
Green Park is developed by Acorn, an independent specialist in development and regeneration, known for its ‘Different by Design’ ethos. As one of the UK’s leading boutique developers, Acorn is recognised for creating places with identity, character and lasting value; developments that feel rooted in their surroundings rather than imposed upon them.
Alston Rise
In the heart of the South Hams village of Malborough, Alston Rise brings a refined sense of modern living to a traditional rural setting. This exclusive collection of three- and four-bedroom homes balances clean, contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship, creating homes that feel both current and enduring.
The architecture has a quiet confidence, modern lines softened by timeless detailing, ensuring the homes sit naturally within their village surroundings rather than standing apart from them. Designed for families and local movers alike, Alston Rise offers a rare combination of village charm, design quality and long-term practicality.
The development is delivered by Freemantle Developments, a privately owned company with over two decades of experience in residential and mixed-use schemes. Known for its meticulous approach and commercial insight, Freemantle brings precision and care to every stage of development, resulting in homes that prioritise quality, longevity and thoughtful design.
From sustainable countryside communities to bespoke village developments and thoughtfully designed family homes, these developments showcase the very best of modern new-build living in the South Hams. They represent a new generation of development, one that values design, sustainability, community and long-term quality just as highly as location.
As New Homes Week celebrates the future of housing, these developments stand as a testament to what can be achieved when innovation, craftsmanship and local understanding come together to create places people are proud to call home.
