Description
Charlton Manor is a farmhouse, dating from the 17th century, with possible earlier origins, and enlarged in the early to mid-18th century. The front of the house is red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with some rubble stone visible in places, and a chamfered plinth. It has a slate roof, with hipped sections on the right side, coped verges, and cornices on the rear elevation. Brick stacks are grouped on the right side of the building. The house is arranged in an L-shape, with a stair turret in the rear angle. It has two storeys and an attic, five bays wide. A change in brick colour is visible to the right of the entrance. The windows are 12-pane sash windows. The front door is a six-panel door, set within a broken pediment pilaster doorcase, and has a leaded fanlight above. A rear wing extends from the main house; this wing features segmental headed window openings similar to those of the stair turret and one bay to the left.
Inside the rear wing, there is a framed partition. A large curing chamber is located to the left of the rear gable end fireplace, accessible only from the first floor. The house contains a late 17th century dog leg staircase with a moulded handrail.
