New homes set to encourage greener lifestyles

Persimmon Homes will be returning to Salisbury this spring with the launch of a brand new residential development. Castle View situated off the Portway, close to Old Sarum, will bring a range of two, three and four bedroom homes to the area when the first phase of around 50 properties is released to the market in late summer 2008.

Following careful liaison with Salisbury District Council, Castle View is unique in being the first development Persimmon Homes Wessex has created at which each household will be provided with vouchers for two free cycles, details of the local Bus Pass Scheme plus local walking maps. The development has also been designed to incorporate cycle ways in order to encourage residents to make the most of their local environment and promote greener modes of transport.

Speaking about Castle View, Catherine Mashall field sales manager for Persimmon Homes Wessex comments: "We are delighted to be returning to Salisbury after a four year hiatus with a new development which not only brings a stylish selection of new homes to the area but also positively encourages less car use and more active outdoor lifestyles. We hope house hunters in the area will embrace the opportunity to be part of this forward thinking, environmentally conscious community."

Situated just a few miles north of Salisbury city centre, Castle View benefits from a delightful elevated location enjoying views towards the remains of the original cathedral and impressive castle ruins. The development will form part of the wider Sarum Meadows community being created in Salisbury which once completed will include a new school and retail facilities, bringing employment opportunities to the city.

Historic Salisbury has plenty of character offering a wide range of arts and culture venues alongside individual shops and regular street markets. Outside the city lie charming country towns and villages ripe for exploring plus plenty of opportunities for great walking and cycling alongside the chance to visit tourist attractions including Stonehenge, the most famous megalithic monument in the world.
