Symmetrical 2-room-and-through-passage with (originally) newel stair in each gable wall, to rear of chimneybreast; right-hand stair removed in C20, but curved wall still visible. Left-hand room formerly the hall/kitchen; parlour to right. 2 storeys. Ground storey has 4 windows and centre doorway; upper storey has 2 windows, placed close to centre. Late C20 plank door. Wood casements of 2 lights, or 3 lights in upper-storey right-hand window; each light has 3 panes. Interior: Passage flanked both sides by stud-and-panel screens with scratch-moulded studs. Each ground floor room has one full- and one half- beam (the latter against gable wall); all chamfered with scroll-stops. Both rooms have fireplaces with ovolo-moulded wood lintels, now underbuilt and openings reduced in size; left-hand fireplace is said to have been wide originally with a deep interior. Upper floor fireplaces in both gables: ovolo-moulded lintel to left, lightly chamfered one to right. Close-studded partition between right-hand and middle upper floor rooms. Complete set of 4 original roof-trusses with threaded purlins and ridge, mortice-and-tenoned ashlar posts; gouged carpenter's marks. The 3 right-hand trusses have cranked collars with shaped ends lap-jointed to the principals. Left-hand truss has a wavy collar; joints not examined. Timbers dark, but not smoke-blackened. This is an unusually good example of its type for Devon, the more so for being in a town.
