Old Sarum sits on the edge of Salisbury, offering a semi-rural setting with easy access to the city's amenities and transport links. It's a genuinely affordable spot, with detached homes averaging around £503,210, well below many surrounding areas, and the wider area reflects this value across the board, from flats in the £150,000s to detached houses in the low £500,000s. Low crime is a constant theme throughout the area, with burglary rates notably low and figures continuing to fall year on year. Air quality is excellent and the weather tends to be drier and sunnier than much of the UK, making it an appealing base for anyone who likes to spend time outdoors. Schools are a strong draw here. Old Sarum Primary and Winterbourne Earls sit within the neighbourhood itself, while Salisbury's wider offer includes Bishop Wordsworth's Grammar and South Wilts Grammar, both highly rated, along with the "Good"-rated Wyvern St Edmund's secondary nearby. Families are well catered for, and the number of residents working from home (over a third in several surrounding wards) speaks to the settled, family-friendly character of the area. Transport and connectivity are a real strength too. Good road links to the A345, A36 and A303 make car commuting straightforward, while Salisbury train station provides direct rail connections to London Waterloo. Day-to-day essentials sit just outside the immediate boundary in Salisbury city centre, where you'll find a wide range of shops, restaurants and healthcare provision, including several GP surgeries and dentists. The balance of countryside quiet with quick access to city amenities is what sets Old Sarum apart, giving residents the best of both a peaceful, green setting and a well-connected, practical base for commuting or family life.
