Saltmoor House has the distinct hallmarks of the Georgian period being totally symmetrical, the front being enhanced with a fine pillared entrance with panelled front door and fanlight. The facade and Georgian reception rooms were no doubt added in the 18th Century to a more modest and older farmhouse, once being the home of the well known Kinglake family of the Kinglake Bank in Taunton. This lovely old house is Listed Grade II and has been well restored and maintained over the years and provides elegant accommodation boasting a great deal of charm and character. A flagstone floor leads in from the pillared entrance and leads to two fine reception rooms, the drawing room with high mantelpiece and open fire, shutters on the windows and beautiful cornicing, the dining room lies on the other side of the hall, is also well proportioned with elaborate cornicing and again has shuttered windows. The kitchen lies to the rear of the property has a black four oven AGA set below a painted canopy, a massive original dresser lies on the opposite wall and there is a recessed china cupboard found beyond pedimented doors. The side hall leads to a well fitted utility/laundry. The rear hall leads to a cloakroom, a morning room with French doors out onto a south facing terrace and a door leading down into the family sitting room, also having a fireplace, French doors out to the walled garden and a staircase leading up to the first floor. The principal bedroom is found to the front of the house with windows enjoying views over the River Parrett, there is a door into a spacious en suite bathroom, with ample cupboarding, freestanding bath, wash basin, wc and bidet. There is also an en suite dressing room. There are two family bathrooms, one with a shower and two further bedrooms on the main landing and steps leading down to a guest bedroom with en suite shower room. In addition to the main house there is Mill Cottage, which was created from former outbuildings in an attractive courtyard setting and has an open reception room, utility room and spacious kitchen on the ground floor. There are two good size double bedrooms on the first floor, both having en suite bathrooms.
The in and out carriage drive leads in from a passing country road and provides ample parking with a high privet hedge providing seclusion. A secondary drive leads into the courtyard to the east of the house, gives access to Mill Cottage and a range of traditional single storey outbuildings now providing stables, an office and garaging. There is a further range of outbuildings providing excellent storage and perhaps party rooms, a further range of stables and a six bay dutch barn. A beautiful walled garden lies to the west, has a deep terrace, formal mixed beds surrounded by box hedging and a variety of topiary. The pastures stretch out to the south, are found beyond a traditional five bar gate and arranged in three level enclosures.
