A fabulous opportunity to acquire an iconic four bedroom residence in the heart of the historic
Salisbury Cathedral Close. Facing directly onto the cathedral and its surrounding green space,
this exceptional setting is arguably one of the most desirable addresses in the UK.

This Grade II* Listed property forms part of the Deanery, constructed in the 17th century and altered in the 1800's. As part of the attractive terrace, many of the building's character features remain, including cornices, dormer casements and an imposing entrance with a rectangular fanlight and pediment. Internally the property is Deceptively spacious and light, extending to almost 2100 square feet with high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms. Many of the rooms have direct views onto the cathedral, with tall sash windows to frame the view. Though modernised internally, many period features have been incorporated into the modern décor, including exposed timber beams and wood parquet flooring. A particular highlight is the attractive kitchen, which is well fitted with cream painted units and integrated appliances.

The property is accessed via an entrance hall, which has an imposing decorative arch and a lovely wooden staircase leading to the first floor. The ground floor accommodation comprises a sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen with utility area, cloakroom and internal access to the garage.

bedroom plus a separate family bathroom shared by the additional bedrooms.
