Description
Catter House is a late 18th-century classical house, dated 1767, with an extension dating to circa 1800. It is a two-storey building over a basement, with a rectangular plan and a five-bay facade. The house is harled with painted margins and dressings, and features a band course, quoins, architraved windows, an eaves band, and lugged architraves to the windows.
The north (main) elevation has a double curved perron stair leading to a narrow, lugged, architraved and pedimented doorway at the centre, with twisted wrought-iron balusters. A panelled door is set within a deep leaded fanlight, flanked by windows. The upper floor windows are symmetrically disposed; a pediment breaks the eaves at the centre, holding a floral plaque with the datestone 1767.
The south (rear) elevation is three bays wide, with a single-storey gabled wing at ground level to the right of centre, flanked by windows. Three windows are symmetrically disposed directly below the eaves, with a small window to the right of the centre window.
The east elevation has a blank wall, with a gabled block projecting at basement level. Wallhead chimneys rise above, with stacks on a consoled base, bridging the wall between them.
The house has 24-pane timber sash and case windows at the principal floor, 8-pane over 4-pane sash and case windows at basement level, and 16-pane timber sash and case windows at the upper floor. The roof is grey slate, piend and platformed, with lead flashings, cast-iron rooflights, and broad corniced wallhead stacks.
The interior was not inspected in 1996.
Catter House stables and walled garden are listed separately.
