We look forward to delivering high quality homes at Mazzard View, that are stylish, practical and sympathetic to their locality.”

We will initially open a temporary Marketing Suite followed by a show home before the end of the year and prospective homeowners can visit our website to register their interest now.”

Given Devonshire Homes’ approach to aligning their new homes proposition to best serve the local North Devon communities where they operate we anticipate Mazzard View will be another high quality project which will be attractive to families who want to live in the local Landkey community."
