Devington Homes

Specialising in both the sensitive restoration of historic buildings and the development of brownfield sites, award-winning Devington Homes has created a niche market for discerning buyers.

With more than 40 years of expertise in the creation of luxury homes, the Devington name has become firmly established in the south west, with acclaimed high profile projects across the region.

The Devington name first came to prominence in the late 1980s with its namesake luxury apartments and penthouses project on Falmouth's picturesque seafront. Subsequent restoration and conversion projects included the former workhouse and hospital site of St. Clements Vean, Truro creating 75 homes; Devington Hall, which was built on a site latterly occupied by the Ministry Agriculture creating 39 apartments and penthouses and Devington Park the vast former Exevale Hospital at Exminster creating 119 homes within 11 acres of landscaped grounds.

In Plymouth, the Devington name has been at the forefront of the regeneration of the city with the creation of high profile projects that include the landmark Azure development, prominently located on the Hoe, the adjacent Grand Hotel site which was transformed into 26 classical apartments and penthouses, as well as Rivage which is located right on the edge of the spectacular sea front.

From classical regeneration projects to cutting-edge mixed-use developments, the Devington name has become synonymous with luxury across Devon and Cornwall.

Chairman Lawrence Butler's depth of knowledge and charismatic hands-on approach, coupled with his son Christian's knowledge of management, has enabled Devington to forge enviable long-lasting relationships not only with local authority planning and conservation officers, but also with architects, contractors, engineers, agents and other property professionals.
