Description
Charringtons is a house that has been converted into a shop and residence. It was originally built in the early to mid-18th century and later remodeled in the late 19th century. The building features Flemish bond red brick and has a gabled old tile roof with brick stacks at the rear. It is designed in an L-shape with a rear left wing and consists of two storeys and an attic, displaying a four-window range.
To the left of the segmental-arched carriageway entry, which has plank doors, there is a 20th-century door and shop windows. The first floor has six-pane sash windows with thick glazing bars, each topped with gauged brick flat arches. The building is adorned with three late 19th-century gabled dormers. A cross-gabled stair-turret is attached to the mid to late 18th-century two-storey rear wing, which is constructed of English bond brick, rendered on the left side, and rebuilt in 20th-century brick at the rear. This wing also features a gabled old tile roof and a brick ridge stack. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is likely to be of interest.
