To the north, the chimney breast incorporates a stone vice which has, in the east side, a small loop consisting of a chamfered vertical slit with a circular widening at the centre; it overlooks the former south doorway of the chapel. Other windows and doorways in east part were altered and rebuilt in brick, early C19. Brick doorway on north side has reset timber surround, c C16, with chamfered triangular head and jambs. C17 western part of south wall contains 3-light stone mullioned windows. Scratch dial near the south west corner.

Inside, the ground floor room of the east part of the cottage had, until recently, an original open timber ceiling divided into 6 panels by deeply cambered intersecting beams and plates. To the east is an open fireplace with a deep cambered and chamfered bressummer and chamfered stone jambs with run-out stops. (RCHM Dorset III, p76 (2))
