Much of the internal joinery is intact, with an unusual C17 staircase handrail, of 2 tiers of turned oak balusters. 3 chamfered and stopped doorframes at head of stairs, 2 with ovolo chamfers and bar stops, 1 straight chamfered. Hearth in room off left from stair landing has herringbone slate back and raised ovolo- moulded lintel. 2 closed trusses with lath and plaster partitions at each end of hall with lap-jointed collars and formerly with 2 tiers of threaded purlins but no sign of smoke-blackening. 4 later trusses inserted over these when roof heightened, also with 2 tiers of threaded purlins.
