How to unlock a quick move to an award-winning development in Devon

September 4, 2025 | In the news

Homeowners could sell up and move to a new home at an award-winning development in Devon with help from Edenstone Homes.

The homebuilder is hosting an assisted move/part exchange weekend at The Orchards in Sampford Peverell on September 13 and 14 to outline the support available to help sellers become buyers.

Edenstone operations director Chris Edge said: “Most of the people thinking of moving to The Orchards have a house to sell, whether they’re looking for a bigger property to accommodate a growing family or want to downsize to somewhere more manageable. Some are already listed with local agents and others are unsure where to start. Whatever step of the housing ladder you’re on or want to move to, we can help you sell your current property so you can move to an energy efficient new home. There’s even the chance to move this winter, meaning those who act fast could celebrate Christmas in their new home.”

Edenstone has two ways it can help homeowners secure a buyer for their current home – Assisted Move and Part Exchange.

In both cases, Edenstone will arrange a free valuation of the customer’s home by an independent estate agent across the weekend.

With Assisted Move, Edenstone will manage the sale on the client’s behalf and cover all reasonable agent’s fees, reducing costs and hassle. This is a route suited to both upsizers, downsizers and those moving sideways.

Those moving to a more expensive property could streamline the process further with part exchange.

The Orchards is a sustainable development taking shape across 10 acres of land off Higher Town.

Homes at The Orchards, named Residential Project of the Year (36 homes and over) at the Michelmores Awards, are among the most efficient available, scoring A ratings for energy efficiency.

There’s a good choice of three, four and five-bedroom properties available, including the rare chance to own a new build bungalow. Current prices range from £385,000 to £729,995.

There are also three self-build plots, with outline consent for four-bedroom homes to be built on them, available from £200,000.

Homes at The Orchards enjoy a leafy setting, with plenty of outdoor space for residents to enjoy including a community orchard, village green, allotments and trim trail.

The location offers strong transport links via M5, A361 and Tiverton Parkway train station, making Taunton, Exeter, Tiverton, Barnstaple and Bristol all easily accessible.

The area benefits from good local amenities including schools and a pub, with the seaside and national parks offering opportunities to explore the outdoors.

The Assisted Move/Part Exchange event takes place from 12noon to 4pm on Saturday, September 13 and Sunday, September 14.
