A second phase of construction is underway at a popular development in Plymouth.

Building work is in full swing at Persimmon Homes Cornwall’s development in Derriford, known as Palmerston Heights (postcode PL6 5WR).

When complete, the scheme will consist of 132 properties. Already 48 homes have been completed and all of those properties are occupied.

Due to the strong demand, Persimmon Homes has now started work on its second phase of work, which will consist of a further 51 houses.

Jane Cartwright, field sales manager at Persimmon Homes Cornwall, said: “We’re delighted to be pushing forward with this second phase at Palmerston Heights.

“This is a fabulous development in an excellent city location. There is something for everyone, from first-time buyers to growing families and professionals.

“We’ve seen very high demand in the properties here which is not surprising at all as Plymouth offers a unique blend of bustling city and scenic countryside. We’d urge anyone who is interested to speak to us sooner rather than later.”

The development benefits from being close to Derriford Hospital as well as local shops, a post office and pubs.

A new showhome recently opened its doors at Palmerston Heights.

It is a three storey, Wolvesey style property with four bedrooms, a dining/family room, a kitchen/breakfast room, a large living room and an ensuite master bedroom.

Jane added: “A development really comes alive when there is a showhome in place. It gives people the chance to look around the property and to imagine themselves living in it.

“Our sales advisers are really enjoying showing people around.”

As part of the development, Persimmon Homes Cornwall has built the new state-of-the-art St Matthew's Church of England primary school, which opened last year.

Persimmon has also contributed towards a new link road between Forder Valley and Brest Road, creating a new route between Derriford and the A38 and creating vital extra capacity on the road network.

The Palmerston Heights marketing suite is open Thursday to Monday, 11am to 6pm. For more information about Palmerston Heights, visit http://www.persimmonhomes.com/palmerston-heights-10435
