Description

No. 16 Salisbury Road is a small house dating from the early 17th century. It was refronted with raised eaves in the early 19th century and extended at the rear in the 20th century. The building features a timber box-frame that has been refaced at the front with courses of knapped flint and white painted brick or chalk, interspersed with bands of red brick, and has a rendered gable end. The roof is covered with concrete tiles and has a gabled end brick stack.

The house has a two-bay box-frame and a two-room plan. The right-hand room has a later gable-end stack, while the left-hand room's fireplace shares a stack with Limetree Cottages, which may have originally been part of No. 16. The roof structure shows light smoke-blackening, indicating that the house was originally open to the roof. There is a 20th-century single-storey outshut at the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical two-window front. The late 20th-century windows are two-light casements, with the ground floor set in segmental brick arch openings. A similar arch is above the central doorway, which has a 20th-century panelled door. The single-storey outshut at the rear has a corrugated asbestos lean-to roof and a 20th-century wedge-shaped dormer above.

Inside, the central partition separating the two rooms has a cross or head-beam that is chamfered on the left side only, with unchamfered joists. There are 20th-century fireplaces. The common rafter roof lacks a ridgepiece and appears lightly smoke-blackened. The central partition features straight braces below the collar and clasped side purlins above, with simple bladed scarfs.
