ANNINGTON LAUNCHES FIRST PHASE OF APARTMENTS TO RENT IN BULFORD

Annington is returning much needed rental accommodation to Bulford, Wiltshire as demand for properties to rent across the UK peaked in 20221 while availability diminished by a quarter compared to a year ago2. Available from September, this collection of refurbished three-bedroom apartments is located just off Tidworth Road.

Kiwi Place, named in recognition of the historic Bulford Kiwi on nearby Beacon Hill, comprises a collection of 69 three-bedroom apartments. Formerly used as MOD housing for Service personnel stationed at Bulford Barracks, the apartments have been refreshed with a neutral palette to breathe new life into the homes, with prices starting at £800pcm.

Luke Russell, Assistant Manager at Bassets Lettings Salisbury & Amesbury, comments: “We’ve had over a dozen enquiries after signage went up for the apartments, there really isn’t anything like this on the market in Wiltshire. I expect the development to be popular with a mixture of couples, young families, and young professionals.”

Stacy Whitehead, Marketing Manager at Annington, adds: “It’s great to see the heritage of Kiwi Place being honoured and celebrated. We pride ourselves on making a positive impact on the communities we work in, with this nod to the rich history of Bulford, we hope we can keep the origin of the site at the forefront. As with all our developments, our main goal is returning homes to the communities which need them most. Prospective tenants should be assured that with these apartments, there will be a professional, experienced property management company on hand to respond to any queries.”

Bulford offers tenants a calm setting with local amenities such shops, hairdressers and peaceful walks along Nine Mile River. Just over Bulford Bridge is Durrington, which is home to a number of small grocery shops, takeaways, a GP surgery, and a primary school. Amesbury is just two miles away, whereas the historic Salisbury city centre is a 20 minute drive.

Grateley Train station is just a 15 minute drive from Bulford, which will allow residents to reach London Waterloo in one hour and 26 minutes. Southampton airport is less than an hour’s drive away from Bulford, connecting tenants to destinations across Europe.
