Beneath One to Three Salutation Cottages in Quarter 2 survives the most elaborate of the 32 accessible late 13th and early 14th century undercrofts within Winchelsea. It comprises three bays of quadripartite vaulting accessible from the east via a wide staircase leading down from the street through a stone doorway with a two centred arch. The vaulting springs from carved corbels. Within the west wall is a blocked doorway flanked on either side by a pair of cupboard recesses with two centred heads. The doorway may have led to a second undercroft, or alternatively to an internal stairway.
