This ground floor apartment forms part of a most attractive Grade II listed period building known as Audley House and retains many interesting details. Described in 1785 as a ‘new genteel brick built dwelling’ it has earlier origins dating back to the 13th Century. The property formed part of the Sarum St Michael College (formally a 19th Century Diocesan Training College) until it was converted in 1979 into residential apartments.

Outside space includes a secluded private terrace. In addition, separated from the more modern parts of Sarum St Michael, it shares approximately three acres of communal gardens leading to the River Avon and meadows beyond. The development has its own caretakers and ample parking for all the residents and visitors.

The gated Cathedral Close is a quiet and secure location and from here it is a short level walk into the city centre with an excellent range of shopping, educational, leisure and cultural facilities. There is a popular theatre, arts centre, cinema and twice weekly market. The mainline station has trains to London Waterloo with a journey time of approximately 90 minutes. The New Forest and the Solent shoreline are both within an easy journey.

From the West Walk the period front door with fanlight over opens into the:
