Property description

New Street forms part of the Salisbury city centre one way system and is located immediately outside the north gate entrance to the historic Salisbury Cathedral Close. The property itself is a three storey Grade II Listed 18th Century town house which together with the neighbouring property, number 39 was once part of the New Inn providing the Bed and Breakfast accommodation.

There are a great many attractive features to 37 New Street including original timber and beamed internal walls, vaulted timbered and beamed ceilings, internal period doors, a mixture of sash and casement windows - there is also an interesting lattice panelled window in the kitchen looking into the courtyard. There are a number of rooms with fireplaces although the principle fireplace in the living room is the only working chimney. The ground floor offers only two rooms although both are of a good size, the kitchen is fitted in a shaker style with a slate floor and access into a small private courtyard. All three bedrooms and the family bathroom are of a very good size - bedroom 3 enjoys a particularly pleasant view of the surrounding roof tops and the medieval Cathedral.
