Charlestone House

Charlestone House is a house dating from around 1750, with 19th and 20th century alterations and rear additions. It is constructed of sandstone rubble, with the ground floor rendered and lined out, while the first and second floors are slate-hung and painted. The slate roof features a gable end stack to the right and another to the rear wing. The building has a single depth plan with a central entrance passage and rooms on either side. There is a staircase at the back of the right room, an integral two-storey one-room plan rear service wing to the right, and a single-storey 20th century addition at the rear to the left.

The symmetrical front has three storeys and five windows, all of which are four-pane sash windows. The ground floor has four windows and a central six-panelled fielded door set in a recess with pilasters and a cornice. Above the ground floor, there are three windows on the second floor. The slate-hanging extends out over the ground floor as a string course. The right side of the house is rendered, while the rear wing is in painted rubble. Notably, the side wall of the main range features a curved wall, which is not an oven.

Inside, there is an internal porch with panelled walls and a half-glazed inner door. The room to the front left has a six-panelled fielded door and complete fielded panelling with a dado rail. It also features a 19th century chimneypiece on the end wall, with panelling above and cupboards to the right and left that have shaped shelves and panelled lower doors, along with a moulded cornice. The entrance passage also has a moulded cornice. The room to the right has a six-panelled door, while other features have been altered in the 20th century. There is a dog-leg stair with vertical panelling.

On the first floor, all partition walls have vertical panelling, and the room to the front left has a two-panelled door. There is a small room in the front centre with vertical panelling, and the room to the front right also has a two-panelled door. The second floor features vertical panelling, with the rooms to the left and centre having two-panelled doors. The front room to the left has a chimneypiece with an eared architrave, swept torus moulding, and a moulded mantel. The rear wing has a straight stair with stick balusters along the outer side wall, and at the ground floor, there are panelled cupboards with H hinges.
