Prentices Farm

Prentices Farm is a house dating from the early 16th century and around 1600. It is timber framed and pebble dashed, topped with plain clay tile roofs. The building has a 'T' plan form and consists of two storeys, featuring a gabled cross-wing at the north end with a hipped and gabletted rear slope. The 'hall' range is gabled to the south, and there is a gabled 17th-century stair tower at the rear, where the two blocks meet.

The windows are 19th-century small pane casements, with one 19th-century double hung sash window on the first floor of the cross-wing. There is a small stack on the north slope of the cross-wing and a 19th-century stack at the intersection of the roofs of the two blocks. The building has decorative 19th-century bargeboards and finials, along with a contemporary door hood that partially conceals an early 16th-century arched door head with carved spandrels and brattishing.

The 'hall' range features one bay of chestnut and elm framing, with heavy jowled posts and bridging joists that have 'flat and bowtell' mouldings. A surviving bay wing, which was formerly jettied, has very close elm studding on the front elevation, jowled posts, and straight wall bracing. Remnants of a diamond mullioned window can be seen in the north wall, along with a typical 'T' shaped ovolo mullioned window on the ground floor of the front. There is also a gabled brick 19th-century oven on the north flank of the cross-wing.
