An elegant two bedroom ground floor apartment offering large rooms with traditionally high ceilings, period detail and its own entrance, in this historic Grade II* listed building.
Description
Originally believed to be part of The Deanery, the property sits adjacent to The Medieval Hall and enjoys open views across the three acres of communal gardens and lawns towards the river Avon. Converted from a former teacher training college in the late 1970s, this particularly secluded corner of the Close has the added bonus of being tucked away in the Sarum St Michael enclave.
The property offers spacious accommodation throughout with the principal rooms facing south. The apartment offers a generous reception hall currently used as a study. Features include gothic arched windows and doorway with magnificent doorway with substantial timber studded door leading to guest cloakroom. Running the length of the apartment is a 30’ hall with cupboards, drawing room with further gothic arched window with stained glass inserts. This is a lovely room with high ceilings and fireplace with doors opening onto communal gardens. There is a large kitchen / breakfast room with space for a large table and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances.
Further accommodation comprises two good bedrooms both with fitted wardrobes with each having an en suite bathroom / shower room. The property enjoys gas central heating and is mostly double glazed.
Location
The City of Salisbury is positioned at the heart of some of England’s most spectacular and varying countryside. Few counties can match the diversity of Wiltshire’s Cathedral City which is a lively commercial centre, whilst at the same time being a beautiful place to live with a wealth of recreational facilities.
Salisbury Cathedral is widely regarded as the UK’s finest Medieval Cathedral, with its tallest spire at 404 feet and Europe’s oldest working clock, dating from about 1386.
The Cathedral also houses one of the four remaining original copies of Magna Carta, which in 2015 celebrated its 800th Anniversary. The Close has a unique variety of English domestic architecture spanning from the 13th Century to the 20th Century, with a number of buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren.
The Close is just over half a mile from Salisbury’s mainline railway station with direct trains into London Waterloo, and connections to Bath and the west country.
The area is renowned for the quality of its schooling including Salisbury Cathedral School, Leaden Hall, Godolphin, Chafyn Grove, South Wilts Grammar School and Bishop Wordsworth’s School. Wiltshire is highly regarded for its sporting amenities including exceptional fishing on the Rivers Test, Itchen, Nadder, Wylye and of course the Avon which flows through Salisbury and past The Close.
Square Footage: 1,625 sq ft
Leasehold with approximately 80 years remaining.
