My wife and I are former diplomats. We have greatly enjoyed our retirement in this quiet city, and have very much appreciated its cultural delights, with the superb choral singing in the cathedral on Sundays, the many concerts there and elsewhere, the nearby theatre and the Chalke Valley History Festival in late June. Wiltshire offers wonderful scenery for country walks. Cranborne Chase, some 20 minutes drive to the south-west, and the New Forest - 20 mins to the south-east - are both especially attractive. The house is like a London terrace house with two flights of 14 stairs each leading up to the first and then second floors, so is not suitable for those with mobility problems. Its location just 7 minutes walk from the station gives easy access to trains to London, which is 90 minutes away (trains run every hour or every half hour at busy times). We have a house in France where we will be spending May and June 2024 and are looking for a US academic (with or without family) who would like a central Salisbury base to explore the UK during this period.

Comments: We are centrally located in this medieval cathedral city, just a short walk from the railway station, the shops and the cathedral close. Stonehenge is 10 miles to the north. The attractive countryside of Cranbourne Chase is 20 minutes away by car.
Comments: London is just 90 minutes away by train. Trains run every hour and every half hour at busy times.
Comments: If you have a hire car, we can arrange to get a Resident's Parking Permit allowing you to park in the street.

Comments: We are looking for an academic couple on sabbatical who would like a convenient base in a comfortable three-storey family home for an extended stay in Britain while we are away in France.
