Description

Charlton Hill Manor is a house dating from around 1660, with significant alterations and additions made in the late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in English bond, with some stone dressings and plain tile roofs, with a two-span design to the left. The house is arranged in an L-shape, with a 19th-century block forming an angle to the north-west. It has a basement, two storeys, and an attic.

The exterior features a moulded stone plinth with buttresses rising to the ground floor cill-height, as well as floor bands and stone-coped parapeted gables with kneelers. There are 17th-century gabled dormers above the second and sixth bays, with segmental-headed four-pane sashes. External brick end stacks have three square shafts, the left-hand ones truncated. The windows are mostly late 19th-century segmental-headed sashes, some with flanking pilaster strips, although the straight joints around other windows suggest that some may have been relocated. A central three-storey gabled porch has eight stone steps leading up to a round archway with rusticated pilaster strips and a dentil brick cornice above. A one-storey addition from the 19th century is located to the left, with a truncated external brick end stack. The right-hand return front displays two bays, with a French casement window on the left incorporating a bracketed hood. A projecting 17th-century gabled stair tower is at the rear, but is partially obscured by 19th-century additions that match the style of the main house.

Inside, a 17th-century staircase rises to the attic in the rear tower; it features three flights around a square well with a closed string, splat balusters, a moulded grip rail, chamfered square newel posts with bulbous finials, and pendants. The front room on the ground floor to the right contains 17th-century panelling and a corner fireplace with a 17th-century overmantel featuring two double-arched panels, and oval and lozenge decoration. A ground floor room at the rear has possibly re-used panelling and a corner fireplace with a 19th-century decorative-tile surround. A 17th-century cellar door has decorative strap hinges. A likely late 19th-century fireplace is found in the entrance hall, possessing a four-centred moulded arch, carved spandrels, and a keyed lintel.
