New Homes For Sale In Somerset

With a high demand for new homes in Somerset - both from locals and from those wishing to relocate to the West Country from London and beyond - we've picked out some of the properties available for different types of buyers. The county's thriving £9 billion economy is driven by ambitious small businesses and a significant number of multinationals, global market leaders and other big employers.

Good employment opportunities combined with excellent transport links, friendly market towns, and unspoilt rural landscapes make Somerset a very desirable county. Some new developments are ideal for struggling first time buyers; some offer a good choice of family homes; and others offer options for older house buyers looking for retirement homes in Somerset.

First time buyers and those on a tighter budget could start by looking at the new homes in Radstock at II Landsdown Place from Bloor Homes, including two-, three- and four- bedroom homes from just £134,995. Radstock is a wonderfully preserved former mining town with plenty of character and good local shops and amenities. The BloorHomeStart2 scheme is available on properties at this development, enabling buyers to own 100% of their new home for an agreed percentage of the price now, while for existing home owners the company is offering 100% part exchange.

Housebuyers with a slightly bigger budget dreaming of living on the coast could settle in Burnham-On-Sea, which is home to a seven-mile stretch of golden sand and plenty of good local amenities. Bloor Homes has three-bedroom homes available at Rosewood Farm from £178,950 with 5% deposit paid. Located conveniently close to the M5 and A38, and with excellent mainline train services, Burnham-On-Sea offers an ideal base for commuters to Bristol, Cheltenham, London, Taunton and Exeter.

Moving up the price scale a little, in a stunning conservation area near Yeovil town centre, Strongvox has built a collection of 40 traditional new two-, three- and four-bedroom homes at Alvington Place. Costing from £234,995 up to £349,995, these attractive homes have been built using traditional materials and are proving very popular with families, and just a few now remain from the original portfolio.

For older house buyers looking for a retirement home in Somerset, the impressive £15 million Pegasus Court development in Taunton from Pegasus Homes now has apartments available from £209,950 rising up to a whopping £850,000, catering for a very broad range of budgets. The apartments will particularly appeal to cricket fans as the development sits on the boundary of Somerset County Cricket Club ground, where Pegasus residents enjoy complimentary life membership. There are a total of 65 apartments all with easy living in mind, including specially-designed bathrooms, fully fitted kitchens, full-height windows with double glazing, and large balconies - plus a communal lounge and landscaped roof garden for socialising with neighbours.
