Buyers are being urged to hurry if they want to enjoy modern living near the historic town of Salisbury with just a handful of apartments remaining on a popular development.

Persimmon Homes South Coast is bringing hundreds of new homes to the cathedral city and has found that its apartments have particularly struck a chord with buyers.

Located in St Peter’s Place, Cathedral Court has a collection of two-bedroom apartments, with the final few properties priced from £179,995.

Sales director Graeme Cole said: “The apartments have particularly appealed to first-time buyers and professional couples who are attracted to the modern lifestyle that apartments offer.”

“The contemporary design provides an open plan kitchen/living room which is ideal for entertaining, and, with little maintenance and no garden to upkeep, people enjoy the easy living that apartments provide.”

St Peters Place, in Fugglestone Red, is close to the city centre, providing easy access to great shops and restaurants as well as commuter links, with a train station a short drive away.

Graeme added: “We are currently building Phase 3 at St Peter’s Place and are also offering a choice of two, three and four-bedroom homes.”

“Surrounded by beautiful Wiltshire countryside, the development offers the best of both worlds, with a great rural location that is close to the city centre. It is a sought-after spot between Old Sarum and Wilton, which is why it is proving so popular with buyers.”

“As we continue to build homes there, it is wonderful to see a fantastic community spirit developing at St Peter’s Place.”

Local amenities include new shops, a primary school and enhanced academy provision, large areas of open green space, sport pitches and a network of footpaths and cycle ways.

Graeme added: “We would urge buyers to hurry if they want to live in one of these attractive apartments and would encourage them to speak to one of our experienced sales advisors who will be happy to help with any queries.”
