Devonshire Homes Opens New Headquarters In Tiverton
Devonshire Homes has officially opened its new headquarters at Gotham House in Tiverton. The opening was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Tiverton, Wally and Ann Burke.
The ceremonial cutting of the ribbon at the special reception took place in front of the recently restored Grade II listed building, with representatives from Tiverton Civic Society and Mid-Devon District Council and key members of the Devonshire Homes team, stakeholders and local build partners in attendance. The event gave guests an opportunity to look around the new office and hear more about Devonshire Homes’ growth plans.
Situated in the heart of Tiverton on Phoenix Lane, Gotham House is an 18th Century Georgian townhouse with a rich history dating back centuries. Devonshire Homes' move to Gotham House from their previous office at Lowman Green in December 2023 signifies the company's commitment to its roots in Tiverton and its dedication to providing high-quality homes across the region. The new headquarters offers four floors of impressive office space, with meeting rooms located on the ground floor.
Angus Cook, Managing Director of Devonshire Homes said: "We're delighted to officially open our new Headquarters, with our staff, key build partners and members of the local council present to celebrate this proud occasion with us. This move has not only provided us with the additional space we need but also allowed us to remain firmly rooted in Tiverton, a town we've always called home. With the recent launch of our new site at Mariner’s Haven in Ilfracombe, our exchange on land to develop phase 2 at Longston Cross in Bovey Tracey, and our recent success with Cornwall Council granting a resolution to proceed with new homes in Penzance, there's plenty for us to be celebrating."
