Find out moreWhat started as a meeting in the South of France between our founders Mark Edworthy and Paul Scantlebury, led to us becoming one of the most prestigious property developers in the South West of England. In 2021 our new housebuilding division in the Central Region opened, marking the next stage in our ambitious plans for growth.
Burrington Estates has benefited from Mark and Paul's extensive experience in property, planning, finance and knowledge of the construction business. Our first undertaking was the ambitious transformation of a former Grade II listed hospital in the heart of Exeter. Inspired to ‘bring Mayfair to Exeter’, the restoration was completed in 2015, with Dean Clarke House providing 30 high-end student lofts, a business hub, 23 luxurious apartments and the Cosey Club restaurant.
For the first six years Dean Clarke House provided our headquarters. This elegant Georgian building was a far cry from our first ‘office’ – Mark’s car. Part of our continued success has been our approach to business and life. We believe it’s important to do what you love and to do it well, while having fun along the way with the people you work with.
Volume house building has never been for us. Instead, we’ve focussed on creating unique, special developments that will form part of our lasting legacy of setting new standards in design and build.
We’re extremely proud of what our amazing team has achieved over the years. From building upmarket student lofts and luxury homes, to the sensitive restoration of historic buildings, our portfolio is one to be admired.
We are inspired to continue to create vibrant communities for the future, building high-specification, appealing properties that bring years of happiness to those that live and work in them. Our expansion into the heart of England is driven by this intention.
