Set within Salisbury’s historic Cathedral Close, this second-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers peaceful river and water-meadow views and access to roughly three acres of communal grounds. The building’s classical 1841 façade and high ceilings give the home a traditional, airy feel while sliding double-glazed sash windows and gas central heating provide modern comfort. Each flat has the right to park one car in the communal spaces, and the city centre and railway station are a short walk away.
The apartment is arranged with an entrance hall and built-in storage, a sitting room overlooking the river, a well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances and the gas boiler, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower-over-bath. The property has a long lease (122 years remaining) and low flood risk, making it straightforward to consider for buyers seeking a stable tenure in a unique setting.
Notable practical points are presented plainly: the building has cavity walls with no confirmed insulation, council tax is in Band E (above average), and there are communal stairs to the second-floor flat (no lift stated). Crime levels in the local area are recorded as very high — buyers should factor security considerations into their plans.
This home will suit someone looking to downsize into a historic, characterful setting with generous communal outdoor space and easy access to Salisbury’s amenities. It will particularly appeal if you value views and quiet riverside seating but are prepared for the realities of older construction and shared communal management.
