First residents have begun to settle into their new homes at The Bluebells development in Wiltshire
The first residents have begun to settle into their new homes at Annington’s The Bluebells development in Wiltshire. The Bluebells is set to create a brand-new community in the sought-after hamlet of Allington, near Salisbury, with the development already proving popular with families looking to upsize to a larger home with access to the picturesque countryside. Prospective buyers will be invited to view the four-bedroom show home, which launched on Friday 23rd July.
With construction set to finish on the 17 four and five-bedroom detached homes in late summer, The Bluebells offers buyers an ideal post-lockdown lifestyle, with the homes incorporating all-important home-working space, plus versatile kitchen/diners leading out into the garden – perfect for entertaining. The development is surrounded by tranquil views of the Wiltshire countryside, with views stretching far over the neighbouring fields, and a Winter-running bourne at the bottom of the hill. Homebuyers will benefit from the soothing effects of nature, whilst being within easy reach of historical Salisbury, and even able to commute to London via Waterloo.
Alongside creating new homes in the area, Annington is also building a much-needed village hall, to be used by the community in Allington and the surrounding villages. The local parish has been seeking a new village hall for the last 20 years, and numerous clubs and organisations have registered to use the hall once construction completes in July.
Louise Saunders, Sales and Marketing Manager at Annington, comments: “We are so excited to welcome our first residents to their new life at The Bluebells. At Annington we believe these stylish new homes provide the perfect tranquil environment that buyers are searching for post-lockdown. With great travel links, schools, and amenities nearby, residents will be able to enjoy all the benefits of a semi-rural lifestyle, without sacrificing any of their daily needs.”
Homes at The Bluebells have been designed to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding idyllic unspoilt countryside. Generously proportioned, with underfloor heating throughout, each property offers a contemporary kitchen equipped with Bosch appliances, quartz worktops and LED lighting. Similarly, all bathrooms and en-suites have been designed with modern living in mind. All homes boast sizable utility rooms with doors leading directly outside, perfect for muddy gardeners, dogs, and children.
Chris Husson-Martin, Associate Director at Hamptons International in Salisbury, the selling agent for the development, comments: “Annington’s homes at The Bluebells offer a unique opportunity to be surrounded by picturesque green views, whilst incorporating all the benefits of buying a new build property. We have interest from Londoners looking to take advantage of the fantastic local schools, and other city dwellers looking to move further out into the country, proving once again how important outside space has become this past year. Downsizers have also been keen on the properties, with their open aspect and the distinct lack of compromise involved, as have military personnel from the nearby army bases.”
Nestled in the sought after Bourne Valley in north Wiltshire on the A338, Allington and Boscombe are ideally placed between the historic cathedral city of Salisbury (eight miles away) with its farmers market, cinema, theatre, museum, shops and the market town of Andover (12 miles away). A number of excellent state and private schools can be found locally, and residents will be in the catchment zone for Salisbury Grammar schools of South Wilts and Bishops Wordsworth. Despite the village location, the development is well connected, with nearby Grateley and Salisbury rail stations offering regular services to London Waterloo in just 76 or 86 minutes respectively. The A303 is easily accessible from the development, and the M3 and M27 are just 30 minutes away.
