2 bed flat for sale

The Close, Salisbury SP1

A smartly presented two bedroom apartment with stunning views over the River Avon, set within the highly sought-after Cathedral Close.

Sarum St. Michael was originally established in 1841 as The Diocesan Training Collage (later renamed 'The College of Sarum St. Michael'), slowly being extended over the following 121 years as the demand for further classrooms and housing rose. Following the college's closure in 1978, the building was converted into a number of residential properties, for those wishing to live within one of Wiltshire's most iconic locations.

The apartment is located near to the western-most edge of the grounds, with breath-taking views over the River Avon and the water meadows beyond. 148 comprises a generous sitting room with large sash window, galley kitchen with integral appliances, two bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a dining room/guest room, and a bathroom. Completing the accommodation are two good-sized fitted storage cupboards, located in the apartments hallway.

The property sits within approximately three acres of attractive and well maintained communal gardens. We understand that Sarum St. Michael retains the fishing rights in the portion of the River Avon adjoining the communal gardens (subject to a rod license and in due season). Each flat has the right to park a car in the parking spaces, with visitors parking permits available.

Located directly alongside the River Avon within the highly coveted Sarum St. Michael of Salisbury's Cathedral Close; a rare and historical area with numerous period buildings, Salisbury Museum and an atmosphere all of its own.

Salisbury boasts a well-thought of Playhouse and twice-weekly charter market, with a plethora of restaurants, shopping, and leisure facilities. Salisbury has excellent road links to London and the West Country (A303), Southampton (A36) and Bournemouth (A338), and provides direct trains to London Waterloo (90 mins), Bristol (80 mins) and Bath (60 mins) from Salisbury mainline railway station.
