Stanbury Meadows by Redrow Homes in Newton Abbot

About the Development

Sandwiched between the majestic moors of Dartmoor and the stunning beaches of the English Riviera, Newton Abbot is a truly enviable place to live and Redrow Homes take that experience a step further, locating our Stanbury Meadows development outside of the town, just four miles from the moors, to offer an even more desirable location to set up home and raise your family.

This delightful Devon setting offers an eclectic lifestyle, yet it's under three hours from London by direct train and within easy reach of Bristol, Exeter and Plymouth, making it ideal for commuters. That said, once you have experienced the lifestyle of one of Britain's most beautiful stretches of coast, you may never want to leave.

Amenities

There is a handy One Stop convenience store close to the development on Ashburton Road, with a 24 hour Tesco superstore in Newton Abbot itself. Local Doctors can be found at Albany Surgery (Sat Nav TQ12 2TX, call us), with local dentists at Brunel Dental Care (Sat Nav TQ12 4XX call us), both in Newton Abbot.
