Cottage at Saltcote Maltings (EHER 38294)

A 17th century cottage with possibly earlier origins. The building is two storeys, and one-storey-and-attic, on an 'L-shaped' plan. The property is thought to be the premises of a 17th century salt master.

September 1971. Grade II listed. A 17th century cottage with possibly earlier origins. It is timber framed and rendered, and the roofs, now largely stripped of cladding, were formerly covered with plain tile and slate. The building is two storeys, and one-storey-and-attic, on an 'L-shaped' plan. The oldest part of the building is the eastern end of the one-storey-and-attic range, which is of A-frame type and incorporates late 16th or early 17th century timber, possibly reused, with a partition including adorsed arch braces. The tall chimney stack has remnants of an inglenook fireplace. The property is thought to be the premises of a 17th century salt master. <1> See photos <2> and <3>. A cottage situated off Goldhanger Road is thought to be the salt masters house from at least the 17th century and possibly had connections to the later Maltings industry situated on the site (EHER 15052 and EHER 48457). The L-plan house is timber framed and rendered with formerly plain tile and slate roofs. The original house was a one-storey-and-attic range building, of A-frame type and incorporates late 16th or early 17th century timber, possibly reused. The tall stack has remnants of an inglenook fireplace. It is a Grade II Listed Building. <4>
