Cheriton is significant for the associations with Brockman and the northwest syndicate, that included Gooch who had the residence and managers quarters designed by prominent Architects, Oldham, Boas and Edney-Brown. The residences represent fine examples of the Architect's work of the period, and demonstrate a way of life no longer practiced.
NO SITE INSPECTION IN 2017. The main residence is reported to be a two storey masonry structure with a simple hipped roof, the manager's cottage is a single storey building with a hipped roof.
Cheriton was originally settled by WL Brockman, later a syndicate of northwest pastoralists acquired the property. Comprising Gooch, Harper, Edgar and Wedge, it was Gooch who built the main residence and the managers cottage. Materials from an original house that was located close to Gingin Brook, were used in the construction. It is considered that Architects Oldham, Boas and Edney-Brown designed both places.
