Timber ovolo mullion window of 3 lights, 2 panes per light to right of stack, otherwise C20 fenestration. Ground floor has sash to left end 8 over 3 panes and ovolo moulded surround to cross-passage doorway with weathered stops. 2 light casement 3 panes per light to right. Thatched leanto roof to porch to former outbuilding at lower end. Bay to lower end of main range breaks forward slightly.

Stair turret doorway to rear of hall with ovolo moulded surround and bulbous stops to the durns. Winder staircases to rear hall and cross-passage stair turrets. Fine plank and muntin screens to both sides of cross-passage, that to hall side 7 planks wide with chamfered muntins, stopped near the base and headrail chamfered to its lower arris with coved cornice above which has been cut through to take the chamfered ceiling joists with run out stops when floor was inserted. Segmental arched doorway, partly cased in, towards centre. Screen to lower side 5½ planks wide with chamfered headrail and carpenter marks. 2 impressive 4-centred arched doorways with chamfered surrounds towards left end, that to right closed off with vertical boarding, that to left with 4 plank door. Lower end has bench against rear of screen with reused scratch moulded crested panelling and tall shaped bench end. Ovolo moulded fireplace lintel. Scroll-stopped wide chamfered ceiling beam.

At head of hall stair turret is a jointed chamfered post to the right of doorway to chamber over hall with chamfered surround, with part of the durn surviving to the left-hand doorway which would have served the chamber over the demolished upper end. 2 raised cruck trusses over lower end of hall and lower end with morticed and tenoned cranked collars.
