Centrally situated in a one way street and within easy walking distance of the Cathedral Close, city centre shops, pubs and restaurants, this Grade II listed, 17th century, terraced cottage (yellow painted door & windows in exterior picture) has been tastefully refurbished and modernised whilst retaining much of its atmosphere and character, notably the original timber framework. The cottage is graded 3 star by Visit Britain.

The delights and secrets of Salisbury are numerous. In Trinity Street itself is the Trinity Hospital, an almshouse founded in 1370, whose courtyard and chapel are open to the public and whose clock chimes can be heard across the street. Salisbury's medieval cathedral has the tallest spire in England (just visible from the 2nd floor single bedroom) and its elegant close has many historic buildings, including Mompesson House (National Trust) and Malmesbury House visited by Charles II and the composer Handel. Salisbury is an ancient market town (the first charter was granted 800 years ago) with an extensive range of shops, pubs, restaurants, a theatre, cinema and leisure centre.

Beyond Salisbury, and within easy driving distance, are Wilton, the ancient capital of Wessex, Old Sarum Castle (Old Salisbury), the megaliths of Stonehenge and the ancient New Forest. Bath, Winchester and Southampton are also easily accessible from here as is the World Heritage Dorset coast, about 30 to 40 minutes' drive to the south.
