Description

Great Salterns House is a house, dating to around 1820, which is now used as offices for a sporting club. It is constructed of stucco. The house has a concealed flat roof with a stuccoed stack at each end. The main west-facing front has three storeys and five bays. The ground floor is horizontally rusticated, with vermiculation at the quoins and at the junction with the porch. Rusticated quoins and the central part of the first and second floors are also present. A projecting porch is centrally positioned, approached by two curved stair flights of twelve steps, featuring a "Sedan" patterned iron handrail. The entrance to the first floor has a two-leaf door with a moulded lower panel and glazed upper panels, fitted with margin glazing within recessed panels. The porch has flanking rusticated quoins, recessed panels on the left and right returns with round-arched niches, a cornice, and a block parapet. The ground floor has a nine-pane unequal sash window with margin glazing, set under a flat stuccoed arch, on the far left. Blinded window openings are located to the left and right of the porch, and a 20th-century door sits partially within the original window opening on the far right. A band course sits at first floor level, with two twelve-pane and margin glazed sashes, each with a moulded architrave and eared sill, recessed apron panel, set within recessed panels, to the left and right of the porch. These pairs are set within recessed panels, with a moulded band broken at the quoins and centre bay. The second floor has two nine-pane and margin glazed unequal sashes to the left and right of the porch, each set under a flat stuccoed arch with a moulded architrave. A similar sash is located at the centre, without an architrave, set under a flat voussoir arch, moulded band fascia and cornice with a block parapet.

Flanking the house to the left and right are stuccoed, one-storey high screen walls, each with a cornice and block parapet. The left screen wall contains an opening with a fretted iron overlight, while the right screen wall has a blinded opening. Lower walls on the right have an opening set under a stuccoed segmental arch. Attached to the right is an English bond red brick boundary wall with a brick pierced opening and an ornate patterned iron two-leaf gate.
