Charlton Park Charlton Park House dates from the early 17th Century and was built for the Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire, who continues to own and farm the surrounding estate, which extends to around 4,500 acres. The southwest front entrance dates from 1607 and has striking Jacobean-style towers joined by long open-fronted loggia. Further alterations were made to the house between 1772 and 1776 by Mathew Brettingham. In 1975 the property was converted into 19 apartments. The main entrance is through the open cloisters, where double oak doors open into an outer hall and beyond to the great hall, which is galleries and has a fantastic glazed oval dome over the center. Off the great hall is the drawing room, which has outstanding plasterwork. Both rooms are available to residents and guests for entertaining and general use.DistancesCharlton village half a mile | Malmesbury 2 miles | Tetbury 5 miles | M4 (Junction 17) 6 miles | Kemble station 7 miles (London Paddington 75 minutes) | Cirencester 11 miles | Swindon 14 miles.(All distances and times are approximate)Directions (Postcode SN16 9DG)From Malmesbury take the A429 towards Cirencester.
