Left gable end has fully exposed studs and a jettied first floor carried on plain brackets supported by 4 buttress shafts (2 are fragmentary).

The parlour ceiling has a fully-moulded axial floorbeam with run- out stops and joists with one hollow and one roll moulding; applied moulded cornice. The hall ceiling has a double hollow moulding to all components, carried down the wallposts. Queen-post roof, the portion over the parlour cell altered at a later date, probably when an attic was made. Service range in 4 bays, one of which contains a stack. Plain joists on ground floor. The queen-post roof over this range is unusual in having an extra pair of queen- posts outside the main ones, with short side ties extending from the main queen-posts to rest on the tops of the outer ones. The roof was originally hipped. Both ranges have good quality studding with reversed braces.
