The Zetland With Terrace Walls And Steps

The Zetland is a hotel, now converted into flats, dating from 1861-63 and built in the Italianate style for the Stockton & Darlington Railway Company by William Peachey. It is located in Saltburn, with associated terrace walls and steps in front. The building is constructed of white Pease brick with ashlar dressings, terracotta balustrades, and cast-iron balconies, topped with a Westmorland slate roof.

The main façade is three and four storeys high, with a 15-window range arranged in a 3:3:3:3:3 pattern. The ends have projecting canted bay windows with impost strings and raised, keyed segmental heads. The central three windows are located within a four-storey round tower. A central double door is set within a pedimented Tuscan stone surround, with an entablature extending over the flanking windows, all with shallow segmental heads. The first floor features an arcaded cast-iron balcony on long iron brackets, extending around the canted bays. The intermediate windows have alternate pediments, while those in the tower have a central segmental pediment and flanking straight cornices, all incorporating 2-light French windows. The second floor has bracketed sill strings to four-pane sash windows with keyed segmental heads to stone surrounds. A prominent stone eaves gutter cornice rests on paired stone brackets. The central tower rises above this, having an iron balcony, tall arcaded mullion and transom lights with keyed round heads, and bracketed eaves cornices. The roof is slate with round headed dormers linked by stone and terracotta balustrades; the tower has a conical roof with a rail cresting, and a rear covered stair leads to the platform. Deeply-corniced transverse-ridge chimneys are prominent features. The returns are in a similar style with entrances in projecting rear bays. The interior was not inspected at the time of listing.

Two levels of brick terraces are supported by stone balustrades with pilasters to the piers. A central segmental-headed arch with alternate block surround to double panelled doors is flanked by entrances with corniced piers from which side steps rise to both the central door and a lower terrace.
