Summary - 47 MANOR ROAD SALISBURY SP1 1JT
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom period house with large garden and garage close to city amenities.
Elevated position with commanding views over surroundings
Set on an elevated plot on the edge of Salisbury city centre, this detached Victorian villa offers spacious family living across three floors. The house retains many period features — high ceilings, tall skirtings, exposed floorboards and original fireplaces — creating characterful reception rooms and bright bay-windowed spaces. The conservatory opens onto a terrace and large private garden, while a detached garage and driveway provide secure off-street parking.
The accommodation is generous: five bedrooms, two family bathrooms, an additional shower room and multiple reception areas total around 2,800 sq ft, giving scope for flexible family layouts or home working. The property benefits from mains gas central heating and secondary glazing, but the EPC is rated D and the cavity walls appear to lack insulation, so energy performance could be improved.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains services and a large plot with mature borders, greenhouse and summer house. Council tax is described as expensive, and the local crime level is very high — both important factors for prospective buyers to weigh. The area is close to independent and state schools and within walking distance of the city’s shops and leisure facilities.
This villa will suit a family seeking central location and character who are prepared to invest in upgrading thermal performance and ongoing maintenance. There is clear potential to enhance energy efficiency and modernise bathrooms or kitchens while preserving the period details that make the house special.
