Magna and Vistry to create 100 affordable homes in Martock

We will offer the mix of one- to four-bedroom homes for both social rent (60 homes) and shared ownership (40 homes) to help meet the local need for affordable housing.

This latest development builds on the strong relationship between Magna and Vistry, following the successful delivery of previous projects together, including Orchard Brooks in Williton, Somerset, and Foundry Lea in Bridport, Dorset.

Vistry will shortly submit a reserved matters planning application for the site, with construction expected to begin in late 2026, subject to planning approval.

Paul Read, Sustainability and Investment Director for Magna, said:

“Our partnership with Vistry keeps growing from our first 67 homes delivered in 2023 to now with 100 homes at Martock. Both Vistry and Magna share strong cultures of innovation and growth. Our joint commitment to modern, factory-based construction and sustainable solutions continues as we step up our contribution to tackling the shortage of housing for local communities. We’re looking forward to offering a great mix of homes and tenures to local people who need them.”

Peter Sadler, Managing Director of Vistry Devon South West, said:

“We’re delighted to be working again with Magna to deliver a significant number of affordable homes in Somerset. This development will provide a range of housing choice for local people, helping to meet affordable housing demand.”
