Description
Charlton Horethorne House is a detached house dating to around 1700, with a significant extension added to the east in the 19th century. The house is constructed from local stone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a plain clay tile roof, featuring decorative fish scale tiles. The roof has simple eaves and stone chimney stacks. The south elevation, which faces away from the road, has five bays and is characterised by a plinth and continuous string courses above the windows on both floors. It features beaded square mullioned windows with leaded panes, some retaining external iron stays. The lower bays incorporate 4-light timber casements, with timber lintels replacing pairs of outer windows. A projecting porch with a flat roof and a plain parapet is situated in the centre bay, containing a simple boarded door. Above this porch, between bays 3 and 4, is a plaque with a hood mould inscribed "JVA 1689/TVA 1759", with a matching uninscribed plaque between bays 2 and 3. The north, roadside elevation has a single matching window on the first floor, and below it, two 2-light chamfer mullioned windows, each with a hood mould. The 19th-century extensions are not considered to be of particular architectural interest. The interior of the house has not been inspected.
