The south wing stack has four grouped octagonal shafts. C17 interior panelling and fireplaces, one in the hall of C16 constructed of stone. Other fireplaces and panelling were brought from 'Beeches' earlier this century. Fine brickwork boundary wall and entrance piers. Wall reduced in height along part of south-western boundary.
