Sherford in the South Hams district of Devon, England is a relatively new, masterplanned town created on former farmland to the east of Plymouth and near Modbury. It was developed in the 2010s with a clear community focus: a high street, primary school, green spaces and community facilities were laid out alongside a mix of housing designed to echo local Devon vernacular rather than a typical suburban estate.
The setting is characteristically South Hams - rolling countryside with easy access to the coast and to Plymouth for employment - so the local economy is a mix of on-site services and commuters. Socially it’s pitched at families and first-time buyers, with emphasis in the plan on public realm, walking and cycling routes, and spaces for community events, making it feel like a deliberately built village rather than an organic hamlet.
