Commercial property firm acquires first premises in Salisbury

Commercial property firm HPH has made its first acquisition in Salisbury – a 15th century shop on the medieval Butcher Row.

33 Butcher Row is located in a prominent retail position in the heart of the old city, surrounded by boutiques and popular brands including M&S, White Stuff and L’Occitane.

“We have looked for opportunities in Salisbury for a while, but this is our first acquisition in the city,” said Katie Holdoway, executive director of Bath-based HPH.

“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.”

33 Butcher Row is a grade II-listed timber frame building which sits on a charming pedestrianised street lying between Market Square and the High Street.

The entire building is let to a long-term tenant Watches of Switzerland, which has traded successfully there under the Goldsmiths brand since 1997 and recently renewed its long-term lease.
