Charlton Manor

Charlton Manor is a house built in 1864, with a later addition on the left side. It is possibly designed by Henry Dangerfield, the Borough Engineer, for Charles Andrews, a property speculator. The building features stone rubble laid in a 'crazily' manner with ashlar dressings, an ornately tiled roof, and ashlar stacks with cornices. The left side has mock timber-framing and render, and the overall style is described as 'Horrid' Gothic, divided into two parts.

The exterior is two storeys high and has three first-floor windows, each with stepped and barge-boarded gables above. A chamfered plinth runs along the base. On the first floor, there is an oriel window in the center, flanked by mullioned and transomed windows with relieving arches. The ground floor features a central entrance within a porch, which has double pointed, part-glazed doors between sidelights, and cusped windows on either side. Inside the porch, there is a pointed plank door set in a chamfered surround. To either side of the porch, there are three-light mullioned and transomed windows, with the right-side windows having cusped upper lights under relieving arches. The left return has a jettied extension and additional mullion and transom windows. There is also an angled bay at the corner, connecting to the original part of the house, and a projecting octagonal bay to the left that links with a former billiard room.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, the Battledown Estate was laid out in 1858 by Henry Dangerfield, and Charlton Manor, originally known as Simla Lodge, was the first house built and occupied on the estate.
