Description
Charlton Cottage is a building that combines two cottages, one constructed in the early 18th century and the other in the early to mid-19th century, now functioning as a single residence. The structure is made of coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring a stone slate roof on the earlier cottage and a combination of slate and asbestos tile on the later addition. It has a rectangular plan with a 20th-century lean-to porch at the right gable end and a part-glazed lean-to porch on the south side, which are not considered of special interest.
The facade is two stories high with four windows. The earlier cottage is illuminated by three 3-light, double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements and one 2-light double-chamfered casement, although the mullion has been removed from the latter. The later cottage has two-light casements with dressed stone surrounds, two of which have had stone mullions inserted in the 20th century, while the other two feature metal casements. The central entrance consists of a part-glazed 20th-century door set within the original narrow flat-chamfered dressed stone surround, now located inside a 20th-century porch, and there is a 20th-century glazed door for the later cottage. The building has axial and gable-end stacks.
Inside, there is an open fireplace with a bressumer beam and an inglenook seat, along with a door leading to a former projecting bread oven, which has since been demolished.
