Laying the foundations for growth in Exeter
We’re laying the groundwork for our latest community in Exeter, with the appointment of a dedicated new senior sales advisor.
Construction of a show home and sales office at Willow Grange is well underway, with the development due to launch this summer.
In anticipation, we welcome Darren Kellaway to the team. With over a decade of professional experience and a new build homeowner himself, he’s well-placed to guide buyers on their homebuying journey in his new role.
Darren has worked in new homes sales since 2011, covering Devon, Somerset and Cornwall as a sales manager.
“I felt it was time to redress my work/life balance and joining Edenstone has provided the perfect opportunity to do that as they expand into new areas,” Darren explained.
“I have a lot of experience of supporting people moving for a variety of reasons and can adapt to the different scenarios. It’s important to listen to people’s needs.”
Darren’s previously worked for a family-run SME housebuilder, similar to Edenstone.
Work is well underway on-site at Willow Grange, with foundations now poured for both the sales office and the show home, marking a key milestone in the development’s progress.
Under a joint venture, Edenstone and LiveWest, the largest housing association in the South West, will build 61 private sale properties and 32 affordable homes across circa 10 acres of a 32-acre site off Spruce Close, Beacon Heath.
“Edenstone don’t just build homes, they create communities where people want to live, amid green and open spaces. As you approach the development there’s a real sense of openness, with a future country park at the top of the site,” he explained.
“Willow Grange will offer city living with a more rural, country feel with a mix of homes with two to four bedrooms. It will cater to different parts of the market from first time buyers, to downsizers and families who want more space.”
Darren combines years of professional experience with a personal insight to support buyers.
“It’s important to understand customers – what are their drivers for moving and what are their family dynamics. As someone who’s both sold and bought new-build homes my experience can help them. I bought a new build home myself so I’ve seen both sides,” he said.
