The 2 outer rooms are heated from the end stacks and each have a newel stair in a stair outshut to rear left and rear right. The centre room, to the right of the passage, is unheated ; it may originally have had a timber-framed stack against the right hand wall (said to be suggested by pattern of joists) and could later have been reduced to an unheated service room.

Interior: Solid cross wall to left of passage with a C17 chamfered oak doorframe to the left hand room; late C20 partition wall to right. The centre room has one exposed chamfered cross beam with step nick stops ; joists concealed but said to be chamfered on one side of the crossbeam, moulded on th other with an arrangement against the right hand wall which may indicate a former timber framed stack. The extreme right hand room has a chamfered cross beam with bar stops and an open fireplace with chamfered granite jambs and an ovolo-moulded oak lintel. Late C17 panelled door to stair turret which has a timber stair. The left hand room has a crossbeam similar to the centre room with chamfered joists with runout stops on the fireplace side and shallow cyma reversa mouldings on the passage side of the crossbeam.
