Medieval shop on Butcher Row acquired by commercial property firm
A 15th-century shop on Butcher Row has been acquired by a commercial property firm.
Bath-based company HPH has made its first purchase in Salisbury, buying the medieval building on Butcher Row, located in the heart of the city centre, surrounded by popular brands including Marks & Spencer, White Stuff, and L'Occitane.
The timber-framed shop is currently let to Watches of Switzerland, which has traded there under the Goldsmiths brand since 1997.
The firm recently renewed its long-term lease.
Katie Holdoway, executive director of HPH, said: "We have looked for opportunities in Salisbury for a while, but this is our first acquisition in the city.
"It's an exciting opportunity for us to extend further into Wiltshire, while remaining within our core catchment area.
"It's also the first purchase we've made since I joined the company.
"I have been asked if this is a sign of new directions to come – not necessarily, but as a company with largely industrial and office holdings we are currently seeing opportunities in certain town and city centres."
The shop lies on a pedestrianised street between Market Square and the High Street.
