Set just beyond the southern walls of Salisbury Cathedral Close, this Grade II listed townhouse offers a rare combination of period character, river frontage and generous living space. Arranged over four floors and extending to about 3,051 sq ft, the property currently functions as two self-contained maisonettes but retains interlinking doors, allowing a return to a single-family home if preferred. The professionally landscaped gardens, marble terrace and waterside seating make the outside spaces a standout feature with low-maintenance faux turf and a sizeable summerhouse.
The ground and first floors provide bright, open-plan living with a vaulted kitchen/dining/family room, a ground-floor bedroom suite with walk-in dressing room and a large garden studio. The upper floors form a private apartment with dual-aspect reception rooms and sweeping views across the meadows and Harnham. For families, the location is excellent: cathedral close on the doorstep, short walk to Salisbury city centre, and access to a range of good and outstanding schools.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance. Heating is by electric storage heaters and windows are double glazed with unknown upgrade dates. The sale is via the Modern Method of Auction (MMOA): a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.2% (min £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee applies, and completion is required within 56 days. Parking is on-street with permit parking in the area.
This property will suit buyers seeking a character-rich, centrally located home with scope to reconfigure or to keep as two income-generating units. It will appeal to those who value historic setting and riverside gardens and understand the practical constraints of listed status and the auction purchase route.
