3 Salisbury Road

This is a two-storey building of the 18th century, constructed with stucco over brickwork and covered by a slate roof. It is symmetrically planned, with projecting, hipped-roofed sections at either end (Nos. 1 and 5) and a central five-window range (No. 3). The entrances to Nos. 1 and 5 are set back, positioned beneath towers. A distinctive arcade featuring coupled square-section Tuscan piers supports an entablature with a dentilled cornice, running between the two outer bays. The central entrance, with a studded door and overlight, is recessed, flanked by windows belonging to No. 3. The upper floor contains two-pane sash windows, a continuous band with brackets, and emphasised architraves with keystones; similar details are found on all other first-floor windows. Angle quoins are visible on the projecting outer bays, each featuring a canted bay window with floor-height casements and a sash window above. A blind, segmentally arched recess is present in the return elevation. Each side has a set-back entrance block with a studded door and overlight beneath an entablature hood supported by brackets. The towers incorporate a blind round arched window in the second stage and paired round arched windows in the upper stage, set within a panel defined by angle quoins and a cornice. An overhanging pyramidal roof is supported by bracketed cornices utilising modillions. Behind the tower, a three-window range features arcaded lower-floor windows between rusticated pilasters, with three two-pane sash windows above. Overhanging eaves also incorporate modillion brackets. Axial stacks in the central range have projecting caps with modillion cornices.
