Saltwood House

Saltwood House is a rectory, later used as a house, dating from the 1770s. It was designed by the Rev. Thomas Randolph, incorporating a medieval core and early 19th-century additions. The front elevation is built of evenly-coursed small blocks of stone with buff brick quoins and dressings. It has a slate roof, with a Mansard roof structure, and skylights. A buff brick stack is located on the front slope of the roof to the left of the centre, with a rear stack to the left and a ridge stack towards the right end. The fenestration is irregular, featuring six recessed 12-pane sashes with splayed rubbed white brick voussoirs, arranged in a 2:1:2:1 pattern. Similar windows are present on the ground floor. A later ashlared porch has been added under the third window from the left, featuring a door of six fielded panels within a cambered head arch set within an architrave, with splayed rubbed white brick voussoirs. A rectangular, two-storey stone bay window is on the left gable end. A narrower, possibly earlier 18th-century parallel range extends to the rear on the left, and a 19th-century stable range, also with a Mansard roof, is set at right angles to the rear on the left. The interior has only been partially inspected. A plain-chamfered four-centred or pointed-arched doorway remains in the thick rear wall, positioned opposite the front door.
