THE developers behind a housing development in the Comeytrowe area of Taunton say homebuyers looking for a new energy efficient property can now visit the dual-branded marketing suite now open at Orchard Grove.

Vistry Group, which includes Bovis Homes and Linden Homes, is part of the consortium responsible for delivering the flagship scheme in a joint venture with housing association LiveWest.

On the launch day, visitors enjoyed complimentary pancakes and hot drinks from the Pancake Pod, as well as themed cupcakes to tie in with the new road names at the development.

Area sales and marketing director Natasha Palmer said: “The event was a real success, with lots of visitors keen to see the progress on site.

"Orchard Grove is a fantastic development and the new marketing suite enables homebuyers to find out about the Bovis and Linden properties under one roof.

“We also unveiled two Bovis showhomes, which are stunning and provide visitors with plenty of interior design inspiration.

"The three bedroom Spruce and the three bedroom Rowan have both been dressed beautifully in warm greens and blues, with bold statement wallpapers. We’re very excited to have launched.”

Debra Saunders, sales and marketing director for LiveWest, said: “It was fantastic to see so many people interested in the new development at Comeytrowe which will provide a mix of homes for local people.

“We are proud that this site will deliver more affordable homes than was initially envisaged.

"Our vision is to create homes and communities that people love to live in and this is a location which definitely supports this.

"Orchard Grove will be an attractive, sustainable and vibrant place to live.”

Located off Comeytrowe Road, Orchard Grove will feature 2,000 homes within two neighbourhoods, a primary school, business park, local centre, park and bus service, plus 100 acres of open green space that will include play areas, allotments and sports pitches.

There are currently three and four bedroom homes available from £315,000.

The development will include a wide range of homes to suit a variety of different needs and budgets, including private sale, shared ownership and affordable rent.
