Description
Pratts Farm Cottages is a likely 17th-century, timber-framed cottage that features two original bays and an additional bay added to the east end in the mid to late 19th century. The building is entirely plastered and has a tiled roof with gabled ends. It stands two storeys high and has three windows, which are 19th-century two-light casements with horizontal glazing bars. There are also two boarded doors and a 19th-century lean-to extension at the rear. Inside, the two 17th-century bays have stopped-chamfered ceiling beams and exposed joists. The cottage is positioned at right angles to the road.
