The interior of this part has a 1/4-round moulded beam, and an inglenook fireplace with stone heck and similarly moulded bressummer, containing an C18 stone fireplace with corbelled jambs. Continuing on the same axis behind the inglenook is the C18 house, which is double depth, 3 bays, 2 storeys and attic, and has a symmetrical east facade with rusticated quoins, central moulded doorway, 2 windows at ground floor and 3 above, all with moulded architraves containing 4-pane sashes. Gable end stacks. The rear (west) has in the centre a stairlight cross window with small panes (some irregular), and 2 small windows on each floor, all (except lower right, which has been altered) of 3 lights with chamfered flush mullions, and the upper with small panes (irregular in the left). The interior of this part contains a doglegged staircase with open string, scrolled brackets, 2 turned balusters per tread, and a ramped handrail which is otherwise of C17 character. Good example of alternate rebuilding.
