Salle Park

Salle Park is a country house built in 1761 for Edward Base, designed in the domestic Palladian style. The building is constructed of red brick and covered with black pantiles. It features a double pile layout of 2½ storeys, flanked by two 2-storey service blocks connected by single-storey wings.

The north entrance facade and the south garden facade each have seven bays, with three-bay pediments. The north facade includes a central stone portico with an entablature and pediment, supported by two unfluted Ionic columns and two half-columns. The south facade has a central door framed by a stone pedimented doorcase with Ionic pilasters. A terrace spans three bays, complete with a stone balustrade and steps.

The house has 20th-century sash windows in their original openings, featuring sash bars, stone sills, and slightly cambered gauged brick arches. A stone modillion cornice and parapet adorn the roof, which is hipped and has internal chimney stacks with stone caps. The three-bay service blocks have sash windows with glazing bars and gauged brick arches, topped with hipped roofs. These blocks connect to the main house through three-bay blind arcaded walls with semi-circular arches and central doors with pediments. The southern link features five-bay wings with a central open pediment above a semi-circular arched opening, flanked by brick pilasters. The windows here are storey height with glazing bars and flat gauged brick arches, and the stone modillion cornice is complemented by a brick parapet and stone urns.

The interior primarily reflects Edwardian and Victorian styles. The entrance hall is notable for its two fluted Ionic columns and two pilasters. Marble fireplaces from around 1761 are found in the saloon, drawing room, and dining room.
