Rear extension is in brick-nogged timber-framing, and there is considerable framing within the property, including partition to through passage. INTERIOR has rebuilt bressumer fire to ground floor, a good early C18 shouldered ovolo-mould wood fire surround to first floor, full-width room, and a lofty fireplace to top floor left, in moulded architrave and to moulded mantel, brick inset with bars. Various C18 or C19 wide plank and batten doors, some with early hinges. Stair transversely across back, directly from ground floor room to top winders, and with winders top and bottom to upper flight.
