Description
Pratly's Cottage is an 18th-century cottage located on the south side of Finstock High Street. It is constructed from roughly squared and coursed limestone with stone dressings and features a thatched roof. The cottage has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high, with integral dressed stone end stacks.
On the first floor, there is a two-light wooden casement window to the right, while the ground floor has a two-light wooden casement window to the left and a three-light wooden casement window to the right, all of which are topped with wooden lintels. To the left of the right-hand window, there is an old boarded door with strap hinges and a wooden lintel.
To the right of the cottage, there is a set-back one-storey outbuilding. The rear of the cottage features a first-floor window to the right, a ground-floor three-light window to the right, and two boarded doors to the left. Inside, the right-hand ground floor room has a blocked large old fireplace and a winder stair leading to the front, while the left-hand ground floor room contains an old fireplace with a wooden lintel. At the time of the survey in March 1987, the left-hand end was floorless.
