School Lane, Salisbury

A carefully and beautifully renovated four-bedroom townhouse, with separate garage and workshop.

Old School House dates back to 1860, with Gothic brick elevations and stone mullion windows and archways. The property was bought by the current owners in June 2023 and has been the subject of a meticulous and sympathetic renovation and refurbishment. Grade II* Listed, the house has been reimagined as a lovely home, with some careful alterations, exquisite finishes and stunning décor throughout. The flooring utilises engineered oak in herringbone parquet style, with under-floor heating across the ground floor. Notably, the property heating system was also overhauled and partly re-plumbed, with a new Vaillant boiler.

Accessed directly off School Lane into a welcoming entrance hall, the ground floor has been reconfigured, creating a wonderful open kitchen and dining area, with the all-important and practical boot room and utility space just off. Within the kitchen, there are ample base units and the cupboard doors have DeVol pulls and handles. As well as new skylights bringing in plenty of natural light, there is a door from the dining area directly out to the garden, whilst a side door from the boot room also links to the garden and gate out to the lane for everyday use. There are two superb living rooms, presently used as a sitting room and playroom. Both rooms have Dunsley log-burners and working shutters.

Upstairs, there are four main bedrooms (one with ensuite bathroom), a family bathroom and a smaller fifth room which is presently used as a home office. There is also extensive attic storage space. The owners have not re-carpeted the upper floors, giving optionality to incoming buyers to choose their preferred option.

Located in the Conservation Area, the property lies in a sought after residential area. The garden lies to the rear of the house, with a deep flagstone terrace off the dining area. Floral borders edge the lawn. Whilst there is resident permit parking (Zone A), the property also comes with a detached garage and adjoining workshop amounting to 364 sq ft in total, located at the end of School Lane on Belle Vue Road.

Located on School Lane a moment from Wyndham Park, Old School House is a short, level walk from all of the city’s excellent range of facilities – shopping, leisure and cultural. Salisbury boasts a well-thought of Playhouse, an Everyman cinema and twice-weekly charter market, with a plethora of restaurants, shopping, and leisure facilities.
