In the late C18 early C19 a dairy was added at the gable end of the inner room and an outshut to rear in the angle of the main range and rear extension.

Interior: chamfered and stopped beams to hall and to right-angled rear extension which has scroll-stopped fireplace lintel. Cambered chamfered lintel to doorway at head of stairs. Section of plank and muntin screen survives cased in behind staircase from hall, incorporating old door with slatted grille. The surviving part of the screen is set at right angles to the through- passage but the grooved headrail survives of the through-passage hall screen. Heavily smoke-blackened raised cruck truss above hall with trenched purlins, with early undecorated plasterwork surviving in the roofspace. Hall and lower end divided by cob partition to apex of roof.
