A quite delightful grade II listed period house with architectural features from 16th,18th & 19th centuries, and forms a fascinating period home, in the heart of the city.
Our clients have invested considerable time, care and expense in the sympathetic restoration and enhancement of this exceptional property, successfully achieving a wonderful balance between period character and modern comfort. Of particular note is the delightful rear garden, extending to approximately 95 feet, providing a peaceful and private retreat from the vibrancy of city life.
The ground floor offers three principal reception spaces comprising a Dining room/Study, a charming Sitting room, and a well-appointed Kitchen/Breakfast room with cabinetry by Jones of Salisbury, together with a guest cloakroom. The hall bespoke cabinetry is by Matthew Burt. Access to the garden is available from both the rear hall and the kitchen.
A staircase with shallow-tread steps rises to the first floor, where a spacious landing incorporates a study area enjoying attractive south facing views over the garden. This floor also provides two generous bedrooms and a large family bathroom featuring twin wash basins, a bath and a separate shower enclosure.
The upper floors accommodate two further bedrooms, one of which enjoys delightful views towards Salisbury Cathedral’s iconic spire.
Throughout the house are a number of attractive period fireplaces, with particular attention drawn to the impressive fireplace and wood-burning stove in the sitting room, set upon a striking brick and stone hearth.
The rear garden enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and backs directly onto the Cathedral Close, creating an attractive and tranquil setting. Designed in the style of a traditional town garden, it features deep, well-stocked borders planted with a variety of mature shrubs, including bay, together with established hedging that provides structure and privacy. A central gravel pathway leads through the garden to a raised seating area and garden shed at the far end.
Adjacent to the house is a lean-to greenhouse, offering a warm and sheltered environment ideal for cultivating more delicate or sun-loving plants.
New Street is situated in the heart of the City and just north of Salisbury’s historic Cathedral Close. The famous Market Square, still holds twice-weekly markets and is the centre of Salisbury, with its imposing Guildhall, independent cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops.
