Ground floor chamfered beams with double stops on hefty braces. Fireplace bressumer partly papered over. The upper floor formed a single chamber.

Very fine roof with three open trusses with large arch braces from collar to rafters. Central truss smoke blackened although wattle and daub panel above is not.
