Saltcote Place

Saltcote Place is a country house built around 1905 by Sir Reginald Blomfield in a Neo-Caroline style. The building is constructed of red brick with plastered dressings and features both slate and tiled roofs. It has a Z-plan layout, with a service wing at the rear and a tower at the junction of the main sections.

The entrance front is two storeys high with an attic. The roof has several courses of slates on the lowest slopes, a balustrade, and a cupola. There are irregular brick stacks and five hipped dormers. The fenestration is irregular, featuring glazing bar sashes, including a Venetian stair window to the left of centre at the between floor level. To the right of centre, there are double half-glazed doors with a transom light above, leading to a projecting columned porch topped with a large segmental open pediment. The L-plan service wing projects to the left and includes a cornice, ramped parapets, globe finials at the corners, and a large square stack at one corner where it meets the main block.

The garden front also has two storeys with attics. It features a central three-bay pedimented projection with a keyed thermal window and decorative swags below in the tympanum. There are symmetrical pairs of ridge brick stacks, two hipped dormers, a roof balustrade, and a cupola, all visible from the entrance front. The front has a regular five-window arrangement with glazing bar sashes, most of which are located in the centre on the first and ground floors, while the outer bays on the ground floor have tripartite windows, with the outer windows incorporating central French casements. A full-width single-storey veranda with five bays is supported by Doric columns and has a balustrade above. The side elevations of this front feature two-storey flat-headed rounded bays with stone and brick chequering between the floors. Inside, there are various neo-Adam fireplaces.
