Description
Four Winds is a Chartist bungalow built around 1847. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble with rendered quoins at the corners and features a slate hipped roof. The building has rendered stone end stacks and a central stack at the rear. It is a single-storey, three-bay range, with the central bay projecting forward. There is a 20th-century porch at the center, with a 20th-century door to the left side. The windows consist of single-light casements to the left and right of the center, and two-light casements on either side. The central bay has a cross-gable with a quatrefoil ventilation stone. The interior has not been inspected.
Historically, Charterville was the third of five estates established by the National Land Company, which was formed by Feargus O'Connor in 1845. The aim was to help people from factory towns live on small holdings and qualify for a vote. However, the Land Company faced difficulties and was dissolved in July 1851.
