Full Details

Sarum St. Michael was originally established in 1841 as The Diocesan Training College, 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.

The apartment is located on the western-most edge of the grounds, being on the first floor the property has breath-taking and far reaching views over the River Avon and the water meadows beyond.

The sole property accessed from the first floor landing, the front door leads to a welcoming and spacious hallway with doors to all of the accommodation. A well proportioned, square, sitting room has a large sash window overlooking the river and has space for a sofa, armchair, dining table and associated furniture. There is a well fitted galley kitchen with space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and space and plumbing for a washing machine. The principal bedroom is a good sized double with built in wardrobes and the second bedroom is currently utilised as a dining room. A well fitted bathroom completes the accommodation.

The current vendors have taken advantage of the opportunity to extend the lease, meaning that the term has approximately 122 years unexpired.

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.
