Back has central C17 plank and nail-head door and two gables, that to right with fenestration as front: Interior: dining room with heavy chamfer beams. Sitting room large square fire opening of C16 with moulded stopped surround, and built in to what is now the party wall, a deep moulded C16 transverse beam; ceiling joists are chamfered stopped. One upper room has further C16 square fire opening with moulded mantel shelf and geometrical drops with lozenges; decorative shallow relief plaster ceiling. Small blocked light facing north-east. C16 plaster ceilings surviving at first floor level, revealed following the removal of C20 partitions.
