A 1750 house and garden. The house is on an elevated, South-facing terrace with splendid views of the Gordano Valley. To the South, a Brownian-like park comes right up to the house. There is an unusual bell-shaped kitchen garden, a fairly run-down water feature and several structures in the wood behind. One of these is a monument to a friend that appears to have been moved at some time. There is a magnificent tree avenue cutting across the park in front of the house built in 1880 to bypass Belmont to improve access from Tyntesfield to the new station at Flax Bourton.

Charlton House is a complex building combining a North front with two Elizabethan bay windows with Georgian South wing. All this was much altered by the Victorians when they added a West wing in 1883. There is a recently restored ha ha across the lawn on the West front with a fountain feature above it. The drive is long and meandering and most attractive. The walls of a kitchen garden are still in place but now surround a tennis court. The site taken over under lease by the Downs school in 1927 and purchased by them in 2002. Since then a number of school buildings have been added making visualisation difficult
