South elevation: scattered fenestration; original house with 2 12-pane horned sash window and one 4-pane unhorned sash window to 1st floor; ground floor with 12-pane horned sash window to either side of part-glazed C19 planed door (now in C20 conservatory); original barn conversion with one tall 4-pane horned sash window. C19 barn with re-used C17 cavetto-moulded 2-light, wood-mullioned window. Interior: principal room with stopped and chamfered ceiling beams (one with mortice holes for partition) and joists. End fireplace surround is pecked and margined with moulded mantel-shelf; C19 marble fireplace (to west room), the mantel-shelf supported by console brackets, with ornate cast-iron insert.
