A rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful Grade II* listed house in the historic grounds of Salisbury Cathedral.
Description
25 The Close is an exceptional Grade II* listed freehold house, believed to have been built in the Jacobean era and modified over the centuries. The result is a stunning family residence with a separate annexe, all located within the medieval, walled enclave of Salisbury Cathedral Close, thought to be the largest in the UK.
Set back from the square on Rosemary Lane, the property enjoys an unusual amount of privacy, with a fenced terrace at the front of the house. Inside, the ground floor principal rooms are generously proportioned and feature excellent ceiling heights, creating a sense of grandeur and openness. Upstairs, the house offers two spacious principal bedrooms, one of which includes an en suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. In addition, there are four further bedrooms in the main house, providing ample accommodation for family or guests. The attached annexe is self-contained and features a kitchen/breakfast room, a sitting room, and two bedrooms, making it ideal for guests, extended family, or rental purposes. Alongside the annexe is a large garage, spacious enough to house a car with plenty of additional storage space.
Outside:
The garden has been meticulously designed and maintained by the previous owners, featuring exquisite borders, two raised lawns, and a terrace alongside, perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. This historic and charming property offers the rare opportunity to live in a unique setting within the wider grounds of Salisbury Cathedral Close.
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 under a mile from Salisbury’s mainline station to London Waterloo. 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. Further afield are Port Regis, Sandroyd, Sherborne, Bryanston, Milton Abbey, Marlborough and Winchester Colleges which are all within easy reach.
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.
