Description
Charlton House is a detached house built around 1830. It features a rendered exterior and a hipped roof made of Welsh slate, with rendered brick stacks. The house is square in shape and includes a rear service wing. It is two stories tall with three windows on the front, which contain sash windows. The central entrance has eight-panelled double doors with sidelights, set within a Tuscan porch supported by coupled square columns and a plain frieze. On either side of the entrance are 16-pane sash windows set in recessed arched panels. The first floor has three 16-pane sash windows beneath a roof with deep eaves.
On the right side, the garden front features four French windows within a cast-iron verandah, along with four 16-pane sash windows on the first floor. The left side has additional 16-pane sash windows. The two-story rear service wing is made of ashlar stone and has four bays of twelve-pane sashes, along with two-light casements or nine-pane sashes on the first floor.
Inside, the entrance hall has an open well staircase with stick balusters and a moulded, wreathed handrail. The main reception rooms feature six-panelled doors in moulded architraves, floral plaster ceiling margins, and window shutters. The house is reputed to have been built for Lord Winford, who was a Lord Chief Justice.
