Salts Farm Cottages

Salts Farm Cottages is a row of houses dating from the 17th century, with an 18th-century facade and later alterations. The ground floor is constructed of roughly coursed stone, while the first floor features purplish brick in Flemish bond. The first floor of the rear left wing is rendered, and the rear right wing is tile-hung. The building has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high with a cellar. It includes a brick plat band and a hipped roof with hips that return. There are several chimneys: a small projecting stone stack with a brick flue on the left gable, a stack in the rear span of the roof to the left of centre, and a large projecting stone stack with a brick flue on the right gable end. The windows are arranged irregularly and consist of four openings: two 3-light casements, one single-light casement, and one 12-pane sash. The entrance to No. 2 is a ribbed door accessed by three steps, with a flat floating hood beneath the stack. The door to No. 1 is located on the left gable end, and the door to No. 3 is on the right gable end. There are short rear return wings, with the right wing gabled and the left wing featuring a hipped roof.

Inside, only No. 2 was inspected, which has a large tooled stone fireplace with low vase chamfer-stops. The ground floor room features a broadly-chamfered axial beam and chamfered joists. There is an 18th-century staircase between the stack and the front wall, complete with a moulded handrail and balusters, and a broad spiral stone staircase leading to the cellar. The 18th-century roof includes reused smoke-blackened rafters arranged in two spans.
