PEOPLE are now able to see inside two showhomes at a new housing development in Salisbury.

Bellway are building 86 houses at Spirewood Grange on land a mile south of the city centre – and people are now able to take a look at what life at the new homes could look like.

The showrooms opened to the public last weekend (November 1) were people were shown around two properties – the Scrivener and Thespian house styles.

Bellway Wessex Sales Manager Emily Putnam said: “We were pleased to welcome guests to the launch of the showhomes and give them a chance to see the quality and style of a Bellway property and find out more over a coffee.

“Visitors could see our plans for the wider development, which includes extensive landscaping, footpaths and open space, and appreciate its location within easy reach of the city centre, which is a little over a mile away, and with views of Salisbury Cathedral in the distance.”

The Scrivener is a four-bedroom house with kitchen/dining/family room with French doors to the garden, and a living room to the front, plus a utility room with side access to the garden.

The Thespian, meanwhile, is a double-fronted three-bedroom property with a kitchen/dining room and living room either side of a central entrance hallway.

34 of the homes have been designated as affordable, and the housebuilder says the development will bring more than £1.1 million in funding for local services and infrastructure.

The 13-acre site to the south of Rowbarrow and east of Odstock Road was acquired after Bellway secured planning permission from Wiltshire Council in October 2024.

As part of the planning agreement, Bellway will contribute £240,000 for an off-site biodiversity mitigation scheme; a £208,464 contribution to the Salisbury Transport Strategy and £157,698 towards early years education to pay for nine nursery places in the area.

The housebuilder will also pay £54,900 for a multi-use games area at Churchill Gardens, £10,000 towards enhancing the existing footpath between the site and the A338, and £10,000 towards the installation of real-time information at nearby bus stops.
