Location
Salisbury Close is a collection of cul-de-sacs incorporating a green and consists of a variety of homes of diverse sizes and designs including detached houses and a limited number of bungalows. The development borders onto undulating countryside. Often known as The Ridgeway or the Racecourse area, the latter because of the local road names, the close lies within 0.8 mile drive of High Street, Alton (less on foot) with countryside to the South. Advantageously, there is a useful network of footpaths both to the town centre and station (Waterloo line), and the neighbouring open fields. Steeped in Jane Austen, English Civil War and hop growing history, Alton retains weekly and specialist open air market events, individual and multiple shops, stores such as Waitrose, M&S and Sainsbury\‘s, a library, museum and gallery, churches, schools and an FE College, restaurants and inns, fitness clubs, a sports centre and 2 golf courses on the outskirts.
