Catchbells

Catchbells is an early 15th-century house, significantly altered in later centuries. It is timber framed and largely brick clad. The building is two storeys high with a red plain tile roof that is hipped and gabled. The window arrangement is 1:1:2, featuring 18th and 19th-century double-hung vertical sliding sash windows. The house follows an 'H' plan.

The east wing dates to the early 15th century and includes a fine pair of doorways with rounded heads, originally jettied and gabled but now underbuilt and oversailed. The original roof structure remains, exhibiting cambered and arch-braced tie beams, short four-armed crown posts with moulded bases, and moulded and castellated capitals. Very little of the original hall survives, except for a single storey post. A first floor was inserted in the late 16th century, featuring moulded bridging joists and stop-chamfered common joists.

The west wing is of circa 1500, originally jettied and gabled, and now underbuilt and oversailed. A fine chimney stack from around 1500 is present, with rebuilt diagonal shafts, alongside two original fireplaces. A two-storey late 19th-century brick wing, partially painted, adjoins the west wing to the rear. The east wing has rear extensions dating to the 17th century and later. An 18th-century red brick wall marks the east boundary.
