Great Catleys Farm

Great Catleys Farm is a farmhouse dated "S+F 1845" on a brick below the eaves, with a later 19th-century single-storey wing. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick and features a slate roof. The building is two storeys high with a porch entry that leads to the staircase, and it contains four principal rooms on each floor, along with the single-storey wing located to the right of the centre at the rear. The house has a projecting brick plinth, and the entrance front consists of three bays with a central door featuring six flush panels, an iron knocker, and a moulded surround with a pedimental projecting porch. Above the door is a vertically sliding sash window with six panes by six panes, flanked by similar windows with eight panes by eight panes on both floors. All windows have recessed sash boxes and gauged heads. The roof is shallow-pitched, and there are prominent chimneys on either side with bands at their tops.

The rear elevation includes a gabled single-storey wing at right of centre, which has a chimney on its gable end. To the left at ground floor level is a casement window with six lights, while to the right is a wooden louvre. The first floor features three horizontally-sliding sash windows, all with cambered heads. The dated brick is positioned to the right of the first-floor window.

Inside, the farmhouse retains its original staircase, four-panel doors, architrave, and skirting. Most ground floor rooms, except one, have original brick floors, with the floor to the left of the entrance laid diagonally with pamments. The staircase rises between side walls and culminates in a flattened arch supported by lateral fluted supports. There are original fire surrounds in three of the rooms, along with iron grates in the first-floor rooms. The preservation of the plan form and details of this house is remarkable.
