Sarum St. Michael was originally established in 1841 as The Diocesan Training Collage (later renamed 'The College of Sarum St. Michael'), slowly being extended over the following 121 years as the demand for further classrooms and housing rose. Following the college's closure in 1978, the building was converted into a number of residential properties, for those wishing to live within one of Wiltshire's most iconic locations.
This is an unique opportunity to acquire two adjoining top floor apartments, 158 and 159 The Close, which are located at the Western-most edge of the grounds. Our clients have created a lobby on the shared first floor landing allowing both flats to be utilised as one residence. With breath-taking open views over the River Avon and the water meadows beyond, as well as a clear view of the renowned spire of Salisbury Cathedral. There are a number of period features throughout, including high ceilings and sash windows, plus traditional-style fixtures around the homes.
The property is entered via a communal stairwell, with a secure front door that has been installed on the second floor landing to create a private use lobby between the two apartments.
As both 158 and 159 The Close contain fully functional kitchens and bathrooms, it is felt that an incoming purchaser would be eligible for Multiple Dwellings Relief on stamp duty (please seek independent legal advice to confirm). The accommodation is exceptionally flexible with five rooms that could be used alternately as either bedrooms or reception rooms; with further internal changes (subject to the necessary consents) creating a comfortable main bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite or several en suite bedrooms. Alternatively, an incoming purchaser could create a comfortable guest suite or have income potential, should they so desire.
The property sits within approximately three acres of attractive and well maintained communal gardens which run down to the River Avon, with delightful views over the water meadows beyond and also of the cathedral. We understand that Sarum St. Michael retains the fishing rights in the portion of the River Avon adjoining the communal gardens (subject to a rod license and in due season). Each flat has the right to park a car in the parking spaces, with visitors parking permits available as well.
Located directly alongside the River Avon within the highly coveted Sarum St. Michael of Salisbury's Cathedral Close; a rare and historical area with numerous period buildings (including Arundells and Mompesson House), Salisbury Museum and an atmosphere all of its own.
Salisbury boasts a well-thought of Playhouse and twice-weekly charter market, with a plethora of restaurants, shopping, and leisure facilities. Salisbury has excellent road links to London and the West Country (A303), Southampton (A36) and Bournemouth (A338), and provides direct trains to London Waterloo (90 mins), Bristol (80 mins) and Bath (60 mins) from Salisbury mainline railway station.
