To left of door a tall wooden mullioned window in architrave to ground and first floors.

Interior: the central living room has a large C18 fireplace with flat lintel in line with the blocked doorway; the 2 ceiling beams have scarfed joints in front of the fireplace, indicating the position of the timber bressumer which would have supported a timber-framed firehood in the earliest phase of the house. An early post and panel partition survives in part at the top of the stairs which are C20. There is a small fireplace with roll-moulded surround to left of the present front door, and in the left bay an elaborate fireplace with bolection moulding and cornice. C19 features include a large cooking fireplace with chamfered sawn stone surround to the rear wing kitchen and a stone stair between the kitchen and right gable fireplace. The left-hand rear service room has a larder containing stone salting slabs and stone floor with drain. The gable fireplace to front, far right has a C19 wooden surround reusing C17 carved details, and probably C17 - C18 Delft tiles. The earlier name of the house was Trout beck, the local author Haliwell Sutcliffe changed the name when he lived at the house from the early C20 until his death in 1932.
