Summary - 126 THE CLOSE SALISBURY SP1 2EY
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Grand cathedral-close home with large rooms and private entrance for discerning downsizers.
Extremely large 1,625 sq ft ground-floor apartment with high ceilings
An unusually spacious two-bedroom ground-floor apartment set within the historic fabric of The Close, offering 1,625 sq ft of high-ceilinged, period accommodation and a private entrance from the communal grounds. Principal rooms face south and enjoy open views across the Close’s lawns and towards the River Avon. The apartment retains gothic-arched windows, a substantial timber-studded door, stained-glass inserts and a large 30ft hall — rare generous living space in the city centre.
Practical benefits include two ensuite bedrooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room with space for a dining table, gas central heating, mostly double glazing and residents’ off-street parking. The setting beside the Cathedral, short walk to the station and proximity to highly regarded schools make this a desirable central address for those seeking character with convenience.
Important considerations are set out plainly: the property is Grade II* listed, which will limit alterations and may complicate insurance or works. The lease has approximately 78–79 years remaining; many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend until the lease is extended. Service charges are sizeable (£3,628 pa) and there is an annual Medieval Hall charge of £200. The property lies in a high flood-risk area and local recorded crime levels are elevated — both factors buyers should assess with advisors.
This apartment will suit a buyer who values historic character, generous room proportions and a private ground-floor approach, and who is prepared for the responsibilities of listed ownership, potential lease-extension negotiation, and the ongoing service and insurance costs that accompany such a location.
