Pranket's

Pranket's is a house located on the north side of High Street in Stoke Sub Hamdon, dated 1696. It is constructed from Ham stone near-ashlar and features a thatched roof with an abutment to the west and a coped gable to the east, along with brick chimney stacks. The building is single-storey with an attic and consists of three bays. It has a plinth and hollow-chamfered mullioned windows with unworked top mitres, all of which are three-light, except for the lower outer bays that are four-light. The windows are rectangular and leaded, with a continuous lower label that steps up over the doorway. Some windows have iron-framed opening lights and internal vertical iron bars. The upper windows are set in separate coped gables, and the center gable has a square plaque, now unreadable, which is noted by several sources to have said '1696'. Between the second and third bays, there is a moulded cambered arched doorway with incised spandrils, framing a 20th-century boarded door.

The interior has not been seen but is reported to have a modified layout with a three-room plan and blocked larger fireplaces in each gable, one of which may have included a bacon curing chamber. The stairs, which were originally in the west gable, are now accessed from the central hall. There is one 17th-century fireplace on the first floor. Collar trusses are set into the wall, with later ties added, and there are two rows of purlins tenoned through the principal rafters.
