A small timber framed room intrudes from the front upper floor into the apex, the use is unknown. The large red brick back to back fireplace has been altered C18/C19 but appears to be of C16 origin. The kitchen face has an iron soffit tie to the arch and a bread oven to left, the front room face has had the original timber mantel beam cut through. Early through bracing to walls.
