History

Over the years the site at Seven Brethren has had a variety of different purposes, however in more recent history it was repurposed as the North Devon Leisure Centre, until they relocated to another nearby site. Constructing on a site with a varied history such as this one can present unique challenges, but their successful development highlights that even the most unassuming sites can have huge and exciting potential.

Our Vision

Our plan is to create a major residential development at the Seven Brethren site, in partnership with North Devon Council. The development will provide 180 new homes of which 30% will be affordable, comprising 125 town houses and two contemporary apartment blocks. The houses will be a mix of two, three, and four bedroom properties, some of which will have picturesque views over the River Taw.

The development will begin with a significant infrastructure package that will include flood defences, land raising, roads, and drainage. These defences will not only protect the new homes, but also existing homes and businesses in the area, thus providing immense community benefits.

Progress

The construction of these new homes is scheduled to begin very soon, so watch this space for coming updates and announcements.

Key benefits

  • Providing 180 new homes of which 30% will be affordable

The location

The residential development site is located in the Seven Brethren area of Barnstaple, a town in North Devon. It is close to the banks of the River Taw which runs through Barnstaple and meets the Sea at the nearby coastline of Saunton Sands.
