Description
Catshaw Hall Farmhouse is a house built in 1678, constructed of rendered rubble with a slate roof. It has two storeys and two bays, featuring a ground-floor drip course. The windows are hollow-chamfered, consisting of six lights with mullions and transoms. The door, located between the bays, has a moulded surround and a shaped lintel inscribed with 'WHM 1678'.
To the left, there is a lower mid-18th century addition made of sandstone rubble, which has flat-faced mullioned windows with plain stone surrounds, including two and three lights on the ground floor and three lights on the first floor. Between the two ground-floor windows, there is a door with a plain stone surround. The left-hand gable features coping with kneelers and gable chimneys.
Inside, the left-hand room of the earlier part of the house has a firehood bressumer. The dog-leg staircase has a closed string, turned balusters, newels with large ball finials, the lower newel with an attached column, a pendant, and an elaborately-carved ramped handrail.
