Description
An elegant Grade II* Listed freehold house and southerly garden in the historic Close (the exquisite walled enclave which surrounds Salisbury Cathedral).
Fielding House is a Grade II* Listed freehold terraced/attached house in the historic Close (the exquisite walled enclave which surrounds Salisbury Cathedral).
Charlotte Cradock, who lived at 14a The Close, was the inspiration for the character Sophia Western in the Henry Fielding novel, Tom Jones. She was living in the Close when she met him, and they fell in love. She married Fielding in 1734.
The property provides well-balanced accommodation across three floors, beautifully presented and as per the indicative floor plans and 3D Matterport tour.
Of particular note is the fine, first floor drawing room and the wonderful walled garden to the south.
There is a southerly terrace with an electrically operated awning, allowing al fresco dining in a charming space with a resplendent rose garden. The garden is walled by the historic boundary wall of The Close, which borders Exeter Street along the eastern side.

Location
Situated on the eastern side of The Close, the nearest gate is St Ann Gate.
The Close is a conservation area and is understood to be the largest Cathedral Close in Britain, extending to around 80 acres.
Yet this oasis in the heart of the city is within easy reach of a wide range of facilities, schools, and transport links.
The station (around a fifteen minutes walk, according to Google Maps) and several surrounding schools are within walking distance, along the largely level streets of the medieval grid pattern design of Salisbury.
Salisbury Cathedral School and Bishop Wordsworths School, in particular, are close by.
