Strutt and Parker in Salisbury

Salisbury, a popular cathedral city in the rural county of Wiltshire, offers a blend of city and country living with a rich historical background. Originally founded at Old Sarum, the city was relocated to its current location at the confluence of the Rivers Avon and Nadder in the 1200s. Today, Salisbury maintains much of its mediaeval charm, with bustling streets, exclusive boutiques, and artisan shops surrounding the historic Market Square, which has been hosting markets since 1227. The city's scenic footpaths lead to landmarks like Old Sarum, offering stunning views, while famous sites like Stonehenge and the New Forest are within easy reach.

Salisbury's property market reflects its historic character, featuring Grade I listed Georgian and Queen Anne Style homes in the city centre, along with Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the outskirts. Contemporary new builds are available slightly farther afield, offering a range of housing options. Despite its rural setting, Salisbury is well-connected, with direct trains to London Waterloo in just an hour and a half and reasonable commuting distances to business hubs like Southampton, Bristol, and Basingstoke, making it an attractive location for families and professionals alike.

Salisbury is home to fascinating history and culture. Its cathedral boasts the tallest spire in England at 404 feet and houses the best-preserved manuscript of the Magna Carta. The city's historic significance is further highlighted by the world’s oldest working mechanical clock, dating back to 1386. Notable figures such as actor Joseph Fiennes and author William Golding, who once taught in Salisbury, also add to the city's rich heritage.
