The Turret, 62 Mill Road, Salisbury

As you step into this four-storey home, there is an impressive sense of space and light. On the ground floor, the entrance leads you up to the first floor, where the lovely sized kitchen/diner becomes a focal point. Featuring high-end appliances and a Quooker tap offering boiling, filtered, and sparkling water, this kitchen is designed with both functionality and luxury in mind. The large wooden island at its centre pairs beautifully with the high-quality wooden floors, creating an inviting space for family meals or casual get-togethers. A small balcony just off the kitchen offers additional space for alfresco dining, perfect for summer evenings.

The sitting room on the same floor is equally impressive, with large, double-glazed windows that provide plenty of natural light while reducing any outside noise. The recent addition of custom-built cupboards adds a practical touch, providing ample storage and creating a refined, high-end feel. This room is versatile and is perfect as a comfortable family space and an ideal area for entertaining guests. Every room in the house serves a clear purpose, allowing family members to spread out and enjoy private time when needed, while also offering plenty of space for everyone to come together.
Heading upstairs, the top floor is dedicated to the master suite, a true retreat for parents. Spacious enough for a super king-sized bed, the bedroom includes built-in side tables and mirrored wardrobes that reflect light around the room, adding to its airy atmosphere. The adjoining en-suite bathroom, fully renovated to a high standard, includes underfloor heating and beautiful tiles, offering a touch of luxury. The en-suite is complemented by a separate make-up room with stunning views of Salisbury Cathedral and is a perfect place to relax and unwind.

The remaining four bedrooms are on the floor below, each with its own unique charm. One of the children's rooms benefits from the turret feature, creating a quirky yet functional space that's both cosy and imaginative. The bathrooms have also been updated with the latest finishes, ensuring a seamless blend of period character and modern touches. Underfloor heating in the main and master ensuite bathrooms ensures comfort during the colder months, and custom storage solutions, like the retractable electric clothesline in the master bathroom, add practical luxury to everyday living.

The current owners have carefully updated the property, retaining its historic charm while adding modern conveniences. Over the past few years, they have completed a full renovation of the roof, added new insulation, and replaced or restored every window in the property. The exterior has also been repainted, ensuring that the building's historic façade remains well-maintained and visually striking. The house is now a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave property, ideal for busy families or frequent travellers.

What truly sets The Turret apart is its unique combination of spacious living areas and period features with modern conveniences like Apple Home integration and Hive for central heating. The kitchen, lounge, and ample bedrooms make this home perfect for a family that loves to spend time together while still having plenty of private space.

Located in the heart of Salisbury, this home is close to some of the region's best schools, including Bishop Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar. The property's proximity to so many excellent schools makes it an ideal choice for families with school-aged children. With Salisbury railway station just a minute away, commuting to London or other cities is incredibly convenient, while Salisbury's historic city centre, full of shops, cafés, and cultural attractions, is just a five-minute walk from the front door.

The property is just a stone's throw from Elizabeth Gardens, one of Salisbury's best-loved parks. These lovely gardens are perfect for leisurely weekend walks across the water meadows to Harnham or for family picnics on the riverbank. The gardens are only two minutes away, and children will love visiting the burger van or Mr. Whippy ice cream truck that frequent the park on weekends!

For those who love history, living in Hulse House adds an extra layer of significance, as this property, dating back to the 1860s, was once a private residence, a maternity and child welfare clinic, and even an officers' billet during World War II. Named after Lady Edith Hulse, a well-known local figure and former Mayoress of Salisbury, the building's history is deeply intertwined with the local community, adding a unique story to this already charming property.
