the width; to the rear right of it is an oak, open-well,
open-string staircase with a turned newel, swept rail and
coved plaster back to each tread. Architraves are early C18
and some original 6-panel doors remain. A fireplace to the

richly moulded cornice; the landing has wide oak floorboards,
otherwise the interior is of early C19 character with enriched
reeded cornices, elliptical arches to the hall and right-hand
rooms and reeded moulding on the panels of most doors.
The roof structure has 2 sets of main rafters, suggesting that
the roof has been raised and outer walls rebuilt; it has 7

rafters are jointed over the purlins.
