Visitors to Salisbury’s famous Cathedral Close go back in time, and visiting Mompesson House, featured in the award-winning film Sense and Sensibility, deepens the sense of leaving the contemporary world behind.
The beautiful plasterwork, excellent period furnishings, and elegant oak staircase, which are the primary characteristics of this ideally proportioned Queen Anne home, contribute to the calm mood. The Turnbull collection of 18th-century drinking cups is also of national significance.
The charming walled garden has a pergola and herbaceous borders that have been traditionally cultivated.
