The Grange, Manteo Way, Bideford, North Devon, EX39 4FU

Attractive Part Complete Residential Development Opportunity

The Grange is situated to the east of Manteo Way and extends to approx. 15.7 acres across two registered freehold titles; DN747395 and DN758401.

The site is irregularly-shaped and wraps around Marland School to the south.

The development comprises a partially completed residential housing estate which we understand commenced around 2022. The development is part-way through Phases 3 and 4 - see phasing plan.

The site has planning permission for 225 dwellings of which 45 (20%) are to be affordable homes.

Of the 180 Open Market homes to be delivered, we understand that 84 (47%) have been completed and sold to date.

We understand the sale of a further two houses (Plots 105 and 111) have exchanged contracts albeit these units are not build-complete/CML'd.

We understand a further ten houses (plots 102, 103, 106, 107, 108, 110, 116, 117, 118 & 119) have been reserved but sales have not exchanged. This includes the sale of four houses to Torridge Council as 'additionality units' - Plots 116-119.

Of the 45 affordable homes to be delivered, we understand that 28 (62%) have been sold to Registered Provider LiveWest. A further four units (Plots 64-67) have also been exchanged to LiveWest and are effectively build-complete (CML sign-off achieved in April 2026) save for some relatively minor external landscaping works which remain outstanding.
