About the Development

Situated at the head of the Teign Estuary between Exeter and Newton Abbot, Kingsteignton is a thriving town with high achieving primary schools and an excellent community college. Historically clay mining has brought employment and prosperity to the area with Kingsteignton known as the long established centre of the clay industry with links to the Wedgwood empire dating back to 1791. Today there are a wealth of local clubs, interest groups and societies available for all ages and abilities.

Potters Lea has easy access to the main A380 and is only a couple of miles from mainline rail services, but is a stone’s throw away from the River Teign and just a short drive to the beautiful views and scenery of Dartmoor.

With the new Kingsteignton School located on the eastern edge of the development, Potters Lea is perfectly placed for you and your family.
