Stratford Road, Stratford Sub Castle, SP1

The Old Laundry is a captivating Grade II listed residence with rich history and period character. Constructed in the late 17th century, this two storey red brick home - with grey headers and an old tile roof featuring hipped gable ends—once formed part of a historic laundry facility serving the community. The building showcases distinctive architectural details which include tall chimneys with block cappings, and irregularly spaced cambered-arch casement windows with glazing bars, which are all typical of its era. Its current structure reflects alterations over time, including a later single-storey brick extension on the northern side of the building.

Modern updates have sensitively enhanced the property over the years: the interior generously spans approximately 1,302 sqft providing a range of spaces to with flexibility to cater to a prospective buyer’s requirements. The accommodation comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, three reception rooms for convenient versatility, a contemporary kitchen with space for a range of appliances, and utility/cloakrooms in addition to the family bathroom. The double garage was added in 2015 which adds another practical feature which is sought after by current homebuyers. Externally, the plot offers ample parking for a home of this size, and has a lovely rear garden which is mostly laid-to-lawn with mature shrubs and greenery at its perimeter.

Set in the historic linear settlement of Stratford-sub-Castle - nestled beneath the historic site of Old Sarum - the property sits among a collection of listed buildings echoing character from different architectural periods. Stratford-sub-Castle was once a separate village with origins near an Iron Age hillfort and Norman castle, and is today an integral part of Salisbury with deep historic layers.
