Farmhouse. Late C18 - early C19, with C16 or earlier origins; alterations of c1860, 1911 and 1986, the latter including rebuilding to rear and north wing. Red brick with Welsh slate roof. T-shaped on plan: single-room south wing with entrance hall adjoining 2-room cross wing to north. West entrance front: 2 storeys, 3 first-floor windows to right; single-window wing to left. Rendered plinth. C19 doorcase with half-columns carrying plain entablature, panelled door and plain overlight in panelled reveal. 12-pane window to left and 3 full-length 4-pane sashes to right, with sills and stucco flat arches. 12-pane first-floor sashes in flush wooden architraves with sills, and lintels at eaves level. Wing has ground-floor bow window, rendered below, with three 12-pane sashes beneath plain entablature and corniced wooden gutter; 12-pane first-floor sash. Right return of wing has 12-pane ground-floor sash in flush wooden architrave beneath segmental header arch and similar first-floor sash with lintel at eaves level. Roof hipped to wing and with brick ridge stack. Early section to rear of south range has first-floor brick band. Interior. Entrance/stairhall has flagged floor, open well staircase with ramped handrail and plain balusters, reeded plaster cornice, arched opening to passage. Reeded cornices to south drawing room and wing. Passage to left has ovolo-moulded beams with tongue stops. Rebuilding work in 1986 removed C16 or earlier timber-framed walls encased in brick from the north wing; surviving wall thicknesses suggest that remnants of framing might survive in the entrance hall section. Meaux Abbey established a grange at Saltaugh in the C12, and the hall and chambers of the house are mentioned in the late C14. Victoria County History: York, East Riding, vol; 5, 1984, pp 58-9.
