The left hand room of the main range has an open fireplace with a chamfered stopped timber lintel, C18 brick jambs and a bread oven. Plain exposed cross beams, exposed joists; partition wall to left made up of stout timber studs with infill, The unheated room, to the right has a deep hollow chamfered cross beam with roll stops.
