74 THE CLOSE SALISBURY
A charming Grade I Listed cottage with pretty gardens in the historic Cathedral Close
Dating back to the mid-18th Century, this delightful cottage, which is Listed Grade I because of its attachment to the Harnham Gate, is built of a mixture of brick, stone and flint under a mellow red tiled roof with mainly casement windows, some with “gothic arched glazing bars”. With windows on all elevations there is a great feeling of light in the cottage, which has good ceiling heights. Deceptively spacious and with well-presented accommodation over two storeys this is an excellent home in an exclusive setting. The Cathedral Close is a rare and special place with numerous attractive period buildings and an atmosphere all of its own. From here, it is a short level walk into the city centre where there is an excellent range of shopping, educational, leisure and cultural facilities as well as a mainline station with trains to London Waterloo (journey time approximately 90 minutes). Salisbury also supports a well thought of theatre and a twice weekly market.
There are a good range of both private and state schools in Salisbury and the surrounding area, whilst Salisbury still maintains grammar schools for both boys (Bishop Wordsworth) and girls (South Wilts Grammar). The front door, which is sheltered by a small canopy, is set back behind a garden gate and leads into the: ENTRANCE HALL Welcoming and spacious, wide enough to take some furniture and with stairs to the first floor.

Range of built in full height book/display shelves and television point.
DINING ROOM A welcoming and light room which is the day to day heart of the cottage and has a gas fired Rayburn set into a chimney recess. Double doors to the kitchen and wide glazed double doors lead into the: GARDEN ROOM Another useful reception room with central heating and power points. One wall of the conservatory is formed by the Cathedral Close wall. Television point and doors to the rear garden.

From the entrance hall, stairs lead up to the first floor landing, which is lit by a large period window, with leaded cames, giving a glimpse of the impressive Harnham Gate.
