The framing is of substantial scantling, closely set and uniform. The parlour, at the south end, has an original ceiling with some inserted timbers. The joists are laid flat and unmoulded and there is a frame for a ladder staircase in one corner. The partition wall between the parlour and hall is original and rises through the attic storey. The hall has a c.1583 ceiling of closely set joists, laid flat, with stop chamfers and a main beam with an ogee stop chamfer. The joints are carried on a chamfered clamp which is nailed to the middle rail of the partition wall. The inglenook has been cased. A staircase possibly of 1583 cuts through the downward bracing of the central truss and leads to the attic storey. The roof is of clasped side purlin construction with some inserted timber. There is a single wind-brace associated with the truss nearest the chimney.
