It consists of spacious three and four bed houses and the new show home is a four-bedroom town house.
The properties are set in the grounds of the Withycombe House built in the early nineteenth century. The property was Grade II listed in 1949 and in later years converted into a school by Devon County Council before its closure a decade ago.

Kevin Murch Construction Director, C G Fry & Son Ltd, says: “We are very excited about this site located in a prime position of Exmouth, a popular and lively town. This development offers people the opportunity to live in quality, well designed homes with real character in what feels like a parkland setting yet located by the coast with all the convenience of being in town. Sales are flourishing and we only have a few properties remaining on the current phase.”
