Description
New Sarum House is a commercial building located in Salisbury Market Square, constructed around 1900 by Frederick Bath of Salisbury. The building features red brick, ashlar, and timber bay windows, topped with a clay plain tile roof that has railings around the lead flats. It includes brick lateral stacks with lozenge-shaped paired flues, cornices, and moulded brick shafts.
The structure is approximately square in plan and freestanding, except for the south side which is adjacent to another building. It is designed in a Jacobean/Dutch style and stands three storeys tall with an attic. The north front is symmetrical with three bays, featuring large ashlar oriel turrets at the corners that are corbelled out over corner entrances. The doorways have elliptical arches, fanlights, and panelled doors. Above the doorways, the turrets have large round oriels with moulded mullion-transom windows, pilasters, entablature, and cornices. The octagonal attics are topped with broken cornices and ogee-shaped lead domes with ball-finials.
In the center, there is an ornate timber canted two-storey oriel with moulded mullion-transom windows, panelled pilasters, and an open scrolled pediment, along with a pedimental gable above. Flanking lateral stacks feature paired lozenge-section flues with moulded brick cornices and shafts. The ground floor shop window is framed by stone pilasters and has a high fascia with a moulded cornice and plate-glass windows. The shop window extends to the east and west elevations, each with similar ornate timber oriels; the west side has a canted oriel on the right, while the east side features both square and canted oriels. The upper lights of the windows are adorned with leaded panes and stained glass.
Inside, a doorway on the west side leads to a staircase with a turned wooden balustrade, providing access to the chambers.
