About Palmerston Heights
Development Overview Palmerston Heights is a new build development by Persimmon Homes, situated in the well-established residential suburb of Derriford in North Plymouth, Devon (PL6 8EG). The scheme offers a collection of two and three-bedroom new build homes, appealing to first-time buyers, families, and professionals working in the local area. The development forms part of the ongoing council vision for a 'New Derriford', a growth area slated to include new employment opportunities and a district shopping centre.
Developer Persimmon Homes is recognised as a 5-Star Builder by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) and operates under the New Homes Quality Code, offering a 10-year warranty on all properties. Property Details New build homes at Palmerston Heights are designed primarily in two and three-bedroom configurations. While current availability requires direct confirmation with the developer, specific house types have included the ‘Barnwood Bays’ design. This three-bedroom detached property typically features a living room, a kitchen/dining room, a utility room, and a downstairs WC on the ground floor. Upstairs accommodation includes a family bathroom and an en-suite facility for the main bedroom. Practical specifications for individual plots, such as Plot 37, have included electrical upgrades, two dedicated parking spaces, and an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging point. These new build homes are situated on the south-facing side of the Forder Valley, with some plots offering views across the valley. Location Benefits and Transport The Derriford location benefits from excellent connectivity. Road access is a key feature, with the development offering an easy link to the A38 Devon Expressway, the main arterial route for travel towards Exeter to the east and into Cornwall via the Saltash Bridge to the west. The site is also well-placed to benefit from the new Forder Valley link road, which provides direct access to the A38. For public transport, frequent bus services are available, connecting the area to Plymouth City Centre in approximately 18 minutes (e.g., services 42A, 42B, 34 to Windsor House/Derriford Hospital area). Plymouth mainline train station is approximately 2.5 miles from the development. Local amenities are comprehensive, with Derriford being home to Plymouth’s main hospital and various business parks. Educational needs are covered by nearby institutions, including St Matthew’s Church of England Primary & Nursery Academy, located approximately 0.3 miles from the development. For retail and leisure, the city centre offers Drake Circus shopping mall and the historic Barbican harbour, which features independent shops, bars, and restaurants. For recreation, the dramatic landscape of Dartmoor National Park is only a short drive to the north. Practical Information Specific new build pricing and plot availability must be confirmed with the Persimmon Homes sales team, as the development status can change rapidly. One recent detached house listing (Plot 29) was advertised at £372,995 (Price correct at time of search, subject to change). The developer offers several purchasing schemes, including New Build Boost, Deposit Boost, Part Exchange, Own New Rate Reducer, and specialist discounts for Armed Forces, Key Workers, and NHS staff. Interested parties are advised to contact the marketing suite at the Derriford location for the most up-to-date pricing, property specifications, and viewing arrangements.
