History
Purlins and Hideaway form part of 56 High Street, a Grade II* listed property in the heart of the medieval city of Salisbury. It was one of the first buildings to be built outside of the walled area around the cathedral called The Close. A timber framed building built in the 1400’s, later covered externally with mathematical tiles. Both apartments have modern conveniences alongside old features. The property has been within the same family since 1895 initially they traded as antique dealers, latterly as retailers and since 2021 as hosts.
