As 2025 draws to a close, the housing market across Devon and Cornwall continues to show resilience and renewed confidence. Buyers are prioritising quality, energy efficiency and lifestyle, with many seeking homes that offer space, sustainability and a true sense of place. From coastal towns to countryside retreats, the South West remains one of the UK’s most desirable regions to call home.
Among the developers shaping this vibrant market, Harrington Homes stands out as a proudly independent South West housebuilder with a clear purpose: to create high-quality, future-proofed homes that celebrate local character while meeting the needs of modern living.
“Being an independent developer allows us to stay true to our values,” says Alex Hugo, Managing Director of Harrington Homes. “We’re not driven by volume or short-term goals. Instead, we focus on crafting homes and communities that will still feel special decades from now. Every development is designed to reflect its setting, whether that’s a quiet countryside village or a lively coastal town. Our buyers aren’t just purchasing a property – they’re investing in a way of life.”
This autumn is an especially exciting period for Harrington Homes, with major progress at Teignbrook in Teignmouth. Situated in this charming seaside town, Teignbrook offers a collection of stylish, energy-efficient homes designed for comfortable modern living. The show home will be unveiled in November, showcasing the company’s attention to detail and thoughtful design, and the first new residents will be moving in – marking the start of a vibrant new community.
Across the border in Carbis Bay, the Porthreach development is also making impressive headway. Just a short stroll from the beach, Porthreach offers a selection of elegant new homes that combine coastal charm with contemporary design. With several plots nearing completion, buyers still have time to personalise their interiors – from choosing their kitchen style to adding those all-important finishing touches. With construction progressing swiftly, some homes could be ready to move into before Christmas.
To make that milestone even more memorable, Harrington Homes is introducing a special seasonal offer. Purchasers who legally complete before Christmas will receive £3,000 in John Lewis vouchers – the perfect opportunity to style and furnish their new home in time for the new year.
“As a local company, we understand that buying a home is one of life’s biggest moments,” adds Hugo. “We take great pride in guiding our customers through the process – from the moment they walk into the sales office to the day they collect their keys. Our mission is simple: to deliver homes we’d be proud to live in ourselves.”
