A regional publisher has launched a new lifestyle property magazine which will be on sale every month to readers across Devon.

Northcliffe Media’s South West Media Group has created Devon Homes & Living, which is targeted at those living in the county and those looking to move there.

The magazine’s first 136-page edition has gone on sale, with a cover price of £1.50, in more than 500 outlets including supermarkets, train stations and service stations on the M5 and M4.

It aims to celebrate the best of what is on offer in Devon, with events, days out, interiors, gardens and celebrity interviews.

Plymouth’s regional editorial team put the publication together in just a few weeks with assistance from countywide contributors.

The first issue, below, features property guru Kirstie Allsopp who explains why she loves living in the county and also has more than 90 pages of Devon properties – surpassing its advertising target.

Alice Wright, advertisement sales manager said: “It’s been really well received by clients and the phone’s been red hot with calls from people wanting to be a part of it.”
