Description
Cheriton House is a house dating primarily from the 18th century, with later additions. It is constructed of local stone, squared and cut, with ashlar dressings, and has a hipped roof covered with plain clay tiles over stone slate base courses. The building features brick chimney stacks, one of which is colourwashed. The house is two storeys high with attics, and has three bays. A plinth with basement windows is visible, along with rusticated quoins. The ground floor has 16-pane sash windows in the outer bays, set within Gibbsian architraves with five keystones. The upper centre bay has a matching 12-pane sash window, and below it, an 8-panel door with a semi-circular fanlight, approached by three steps, all within a semi-circular arched Gibbsian architrave, topped by an open pediment supported by console brackets. A later extension is present to the rear, to the west. The interior is not documented. The facade details suggest possible design by Nathaniel Ireson.
