4/24 Pryke's Cottage - GV II
House. C15 with mid C20 extensions at rear and west end. One- and-a-half storeys. Timber-framed and rendered: hipped thatched roof with decorated ridge. Internal chimney-stack with plain rebuilt red brick shaft. C20 small-paned casement windows to ground storey: 4 eyebrow dormers with 2-light diamond-leaded panes, some old. A C20 enclosed and gabled porch in matching materials. A 3-cell division of the medieval house, with 2 storied ends and a central open hall of one-and-a-half bays. The lower half-bay of the hall, which contained the entry, has been completely filled by a large inserted chimney-stack with 2 back- to-back hearths. The tie-beam of the open truss has been cut away, and a beam resting on the brickwork of the stack supports the early C17 ceiling inserted into the hall: the exposed main beam and joists have chamfers and scroll-stops. Diamond mullion housings show the position of the long 6-light hall windows in the remaining bay. At the eastern end of the house, the original ceiling has rough, heavy joists, with evidence of a former partition dividing the area into 2, and of a blocked stair trap. Indications also of a blocked stair-trap at the west end. Rafter roof: the rafters of coppice wood, with smoke-blackening remaining.
