Salhouse Hall, Including Schoolroom And Animal Shelters In Courtyard To North

Salhouse Hall is a country house dating from the 18th century, with 19th-century alterations and possibly an earlier core to the northern range. The house is constructed of red brick with limestone and gault brick detailing and dressings, and has black glazed pantile roofs. It is two storeys high with a cellar and has a double pile with an 'M' roof.

The principal south facade is symmetrical, with a five-bay main block. The basement level is in English bond, showing traces of diapering in dark brick headers, with four cellar openings featuring flat, rubbed arches. The windows are sash windows without glazing bars, with gauged arches above them. A two-storey, central projecting porch was added in the 19th century, with a doorway featuring an elliptical-arched opening in moulded gault brick. Above the doorway is a two-light window with cusped lights, hollow chamfered jambs, a mullion, and a gault brick surround, incorporating a stepped drip mould with the initials REW. A moulded brick string course runs at eaves level, now mostly rendered. The facade has a castellated gault brick parapet, panelled and pierced, inscribed with the motto "Usque ad mortem fidus" in the central panel. Twisted corner finials sit atop the central bay with octagonal castellated tops. Octagonal angle turrets have stone string courses and embattled gault brick tops.

To the west is a 19th-century lean-to with two-light ground and first floor windows matching the porch window. An octagonal corner turret sits on a square base with cusped slit windows and an embattled parapet. Gable ends are parapeted with roll moulded copings and feature internal gable stacks. The rear (north) pile reveals a line of an earlier gable with its collapse; two stone quatrefoil panels are on the east gable. A rainwater head at the valley junction bears the inscription plate RAW 1765, which was likely reset. A one-storey bay with a stepped gable and a two-light window is located at the east gable.

The north facade has three two-storey polygonal bays with hipped pantile roofs and casement windows. The central bay is slightly taller and features a square castellated brick turret. A semi-circular headed doorway has a rusticated brick arch and flanking buttresses, with a cartouche set in the spandrel above the door. A square bell turret is located at the north-west corner. A lower two-storey service wing is at the north-west corner, with an L-shape, and a single-storey hipped service wing at the west end.

To the north of the hall is a walled courtyard bounded by a castellated red brick wall with roll-moulded copings, incorporating lean-to kennels and stores along the north wall. There is also a 19th-century schoolroom on the east side, built of red brick with a slated roof and a crested ridge. The schoolroom has parapeted and coped gables, three leaded windows with chamfered gault brick surrounds, a gabled dormer on the east side, and a stone three-light window with cusped heads. A chimney is in the north gable.
