Description
Saltmarshe Hall is a country house built in 1825 by architects James Pigott Pritchett and Charles Watson for the Saltmarshe family, who owned the nearby village from 1313 to 1974. The house is constructed of brick faced in ashlar with Welsh slate roofs. It has a square plan with a large concealed servants' wing to the west.
The entrance facade features two storeys and five symmetrical bays, with a five-bay servants' wing where the fourth bay is lower and projects forward to the right. There is a plinth and steps leading to a semicircular Tuscan porch that contains a glazed door. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, and those on the ground floor of the main house have recessed aprons. The building has a moulded cornice and overhanging eaves, with hipped roofs and ridge stacks. The garden facade is similar but has three narrower central bays that are recessed.
Inside, the hall is notable for its large central space with a cantilevered staircase featuring a cast-iron balustrade that leads to a gallery. The dining room has a fine parquet floor and a plain black marble fireplace surround, with a cornice decorated with swastikas and paterae. The drawing room features acanthus moulding on the skirting board, panelled walls with relief urns and foliage drops, and original brass door fittings. The moulded cornice includes egg-and-dart and acanthus motifs, and the ceiling has a central circular motif with medallions depicting figures and foliate decoration, flanked by plaques showing putti.
