More affordable homes coming soon to Ivybridge

We are supporting Plymouth Community Homes (PCH) to deliver more affordable homes – one of our top priorities. 

Plymouth Community Homes has secured a further 24 energy-efficient homes in Ivybridge. 

The 24 new homes, consisting of one-bedroom flats and two and three-bedroom houses are being purchased within the Filham Chase development in Ivybridge following the previous purchase of 15 two- and three-bedroom homes.

Of the 24 homes, 14 will be offered for affordable rent and 10 homes will be made available for shared ownership purchase through SO Living.

The homes will be prioritised to those with a local connection to the area to meet the specific needs of the community, made possible with our support.

The Filham Chase development is being built by Bloor Homes and is located close to Ivybridge town centre, with great access routes to the A38 and local primary and secondary schools.

Claire Baldry, Project Manager at PCH, said: “Following the success of the last phase at Filham Chase, we are once again pleased to be working with Bloor Homes to help deliver much needed, affordable housing for our residents.

“PCH has been very impressed with the quality of homes being delivered by Bloor Homes, and I’m sure this will continue throughout future phases of the development.”

Ken Allen, Group Director of Partnerships at Bloor Homes, said: “It is great to be working with Plymouth Community Homes on the continuation of the next phase at our Ivybridge development. 

“We have already handed over eight affordable homes to them, as well as seven additionality units, and this phase will deliver an additional 14 affordable rent and 10 shared ownership homes for local people to meet their housing need.  

“Working again with Plymouth Community Homes has strengthened our relationship, developed through shared values of delivering quality housing for local people, living in communities they are proud to call home. We very much look forward to working with them on our growing portfolio of sites being developed across the surrounding Southwest area from our Regional Office in Exeter.”

The homes which are to be offered for rent or shared ownership sale through PCH will be available from Spring 2025.

All available homes to rent in Devon are advertised on Devon Home Choice
