Barratt Homes is building a large and contemporary housing development at Torre. Once complete the development will feature 258 homes. The Magnolia Square phase of the development will reinforce the area's links to well known local author Eden Phillpotts. He once lived on the site of Torre Marine and the well known English novelist, poet and dramatist had extensive orchards at his home. He also planted a magnolia tree which now provides a centrepiece to open space at Torre Marine. (Sorry - the tree is not in my photograph...)
