Salthrop House, Georgian country house in Wroughton, England
Salthrop House is a two-storey Georgian country house in Wroughton featuring ashlar stonework and a central bow window on its west side. The building displays five window bays with wrought iron railings on the upper floor, typical of its period.
The house was built around 1795 in the style of architect James Wyatt, replacing an earlier structure that stood on the site from the early 1600s. It was listed as a Grade II building in 1955 for its architectural merit.
The property maintains its Grade II listed status since 1955, representing the architectural developments and residential preferences of Georgian-era English country houses.
The house sits west of Wroughton village within the Basset Down Estate near a modern golf course and connects to Hay Lane. The rural setting means parking and access require planning ahead.
Inside, a top-lit staircase features cast iron balusters and an oval skylight, while the main ground floor room displays a Gothick style plaster cornice. These interior details reveal the skilled craftsmanship applied to the house's design.
