Internal features: a number of early doorways with heavy timber frames;
C18 or early C19 panelled doors with original hinges; deep stop-chamfered
ceiling beams; C18 wing has a cast iron fireplace, probably early C19; the
south room of the early range retains an original chamfered, arch braced

has later collar trusses, reusing earlier timbers; the central section of
