Catherine House Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Catherine House Farmhouse and the attached barn date from the early 19th century and were formerly used by fellmongers. The cottages consist of three single-cell units, each featuring former three-light flat faced mullioned windows, with two-light windows above on the first floor; all the mullions have been removed. There is a doorway with tie-stone jambs and two stacks at the ridge. The attached barn, which is wider and taller, has a semi-circular arched cart entry with an impost and keystone, above which is a simple Venetian window with a decorated lintel and expressed keystones. It also includes three arrow slit ventilators. On the left end, there is a doorway with monolithic jambs next to a tall three-light flat faced mullioned window, which is blocked. The left return wall features three doorways, two of which have blocked taking-in doors leading to the first floor, all with tie-stone jambs. There is an aisle to the rear. This unusual industrial building is situated high on the moors and is considered isolated as a public nuisance.
