It has undergone minimal structural change since it was built and has retained neoclassical fireplaces, working shutters, plaster cornicing and ceiling roses plus flagstone and timber floors. Unsurprisingly the property is Grade II listed. It has two formal reception rooms on either side of the reception hall plus a morning room and less formal sitting room that both open out onto the terrace and look out onto the walled garden. The large kitchen/breakfast room has a flagstone floor and is fitted with painted
timber units under slate work surfaces and has an adjacent pantry fitted with floor to ceiling shelving. Upstairs there is a well-lit galleried landing leading to a total of five double bedrooms plus a dressing room ensuite to the main bedroom. The main and guest bedrooms have ensuite bath/shower rooms and there is a bathroom immediately adjacent to the dressing room. The remaining three bedrooms share the family bathroom.
Across the stable yard/parking area is the property's guest cottage, Mill House, which is self-contained with its own garden and parking area behind. It has been refurbished to a very high standard with interior walls and ceilings clad in tongue and groove boarding to give a warm Scandinavian feel. On the ground floor it has a living room with a stone tiled floor alongside a fully fitted kitchen/dining room and
upstairs two double bedrooms, both with bath and shower rooms. The relative positioning of Saltmoor House and Mill House provide a high degree of mutual privacy.
Saltmoor House has classic carriage through-drive atthe front with two entrances. Behind the house is a large, part-walled garden containing a parterre and a stand of silver-themed maple, birch and poplar trees. Beside the house is the stable yard/parking area lined on one side by a coach house, five loose boxes, tack room, dairy room (used for party food preparation) and a party barn with lean-to extension. Set further back are a range of former converted pig styes, a modern Dutch barn and a period barn. Beyond the period barn are three paddocks. In all about 15.06 acres (6.1 hectares).

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
