Saltings House

Saltings House is a house with a late 16th-century wing set at right angles to the road, and a 17th-century wing set back to the right. The ground floor has been rebuilt with flint and whitewashed brick, while the upper storey is timber-framed with whitewashed brick infill. The roof is covered in old tiles. There are two external chimneys: one of narrow brick to the right, and another to the left which is shared with the adjacent Queen’s Head pub. The house is arranged in an L-shape. It has two storeys. The 16th-century wing consists of three bays, with a gable facing the road and two bays of windows on the right side. The 17th-century wing is a single large bay with two bays of windows. Features include irregular 20th-century wooden casements, a canted bay window on the right side, a 20th-century door in the right side of the 16th-century wing, and a blocked doorway with a small wooden hood over the front gable. Inside the 16th-century bay are curved braces to the tie-beams, diagonal wind-braces, longitudinal floor joists in the centre bay, and a blocked three-light window with heavy diagonal mullions. The 17th-century wing contains stop-chamfered spine beams and joists.
