Description
Cattistock House is a detached house dated 1717, with 20th-century remodeling and a conversion at the rear. The building features knapped flint and a banded stone plinth, with walls made of ashlar chalk blocks and ashlar Ham stone quoins. There is a Ham stone string course above the ground floor windows that extends over the front door in a semi-circle shape. The house has a moulded brick cornice and a hipped slate roof, with brick stacks on both the left and right end walls.
It is two storeys high with a symmetrical facade that includes three windows, featuring 2-light ovolo-moulded stone mullions and framing. The 20th-century metal casements have lozenge-leaded lights. The front door, located at the center, is a plank door with strap hinges and a wooden lintel that bears a 20th-century inscription: "Pana Domus Magna Quies." The rear walls contain two re-used 3-light stone mullions with hollow chamfers, also fitted with 20th-century metal casements.
The rear range, which is at a right angle to the main house, is a 1930s conversion of a stable block, constructed with rubble-stone walls and brick quoins, topped with a hipped slate roof. There is a stone and brick stack on the end wall, and the rear entrance features a porch with a depressed-arch bead, dating from the 20th century.
Inside, the house has a double-depth layout with a central transverse corridor. The fireplace in the south front room is set across the corner and has chalk block jambs with a wooden lintel above. A 17th-century doorway in the north end wall has been re-set; it features ovolo-moulded jambs and a depressed-arch head with foliate spandrels, all made of stone.
