Wide wood-burning hearth in hall, facing to left, with chamfered mantel beam with lamb's tongue stops, reduced by modern brickwork. Late C16 inserted floor in hall, comprising a chamfered axial beam and plain joists of vertical section. The service bay has exposed studding, some of it original, and plain joists, some of horizontal section and original, lodged longitudinally; C20 grate. The left crosswing has a C20 grate, and higher storeys than the remainder. The walls of the main range have been raised to 2 full storeys, probably in the C19, and the roof is C19.
