Situation
Fugglestone Red is an emerging residential area on the edge of Salisbury, a city known for its medieval history and the famous Salisbury Cathedral. The 1.4-acre site is central to the Fugglestone Red housing project, which includes 1,250 planned/developed units.
Salisbury is located near major roads like the A30, about 20 miles from Shaftesbury. It's a city that combines historical significance with the conveniences of modern infrastructure. Fugglestone Red is primarily flat, which has allowed for its development, making it an accessible
area for new housing and commercial opportunities.
The demographics here reflect Salisbury's traditional character alongside the fresh energy of new housing developments. With a steady population that values history and modern conveniences, the area is expected to consistently demand new services and retail options, positioning this commercial site as a practical choice for business ventures.
Salisbury's economy is supported by its status as a regional centre for commerce and the arts, attracting visitors and supporting a stable job market. As Fugglestone Red is part of Salisbury, the area is likely to share in the city's stable economic environment and demographic diversity, representing a solid opportunity for development and investment.
