Charingworth Farmhouse

Charingworth Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early to mid 17th century, with a 20th-century porch. It has late 17th-century and 19th-century extensions. The main structure is built of ashlar with an artificial stone roof and flat limestone coping at the gable ends. There is a projecting limestone stack at the right gable end and a limestone gable end stack on the left. The late 17th-century extension is also ashlar with a roof covered in large grey slates, while the 19th-century extension features coursed squared limestone with a tiled roof and a brick end stack.

The main body consists of two rooms, with a single-roomed late 17th-century extension attached to the right and two successive 19th-century extensions extending forward from the junction of the former. The main body has two storeys and an attic, featuring a single dormer with a two-light 20th-century casement window, and two additional windows towards the right, both of which are two-light 20th-century casements with horizontal glazing bars. There is also a four-light stone-mullioned window with a stopped hood and a king mullion. Stone-mullioned windows are present in the gable end and at the rear.

Inside, there is a four-centred stone arched doorway leading to the late 17th-century extension, now accessed from the bakehouse, with compass-drawn rosette decoration on the right jamb. The main body interior includes a large fireplace with a bressumer against the right wall, lit by a fire window in the rear wall, and the remains of a domed bread oven on the right. There is a large stone fireplace in the left room, plain stop-chamfered beams, and flagstone floors. A bread oven is located in the bakehouse gable end. The ground floor was the only part inspected.
