The 6-panel door in the E elevation has a hood mounted on brackets with acanthus carving similar to those on the N elevation, and possibly removed from it. The interior of the N-S range has axial plain-chamfered beams with lamb's tongue stops and joists of square section, short arched braces to the tiebeams, face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates, a blocked ground floor window with 3 ovolo-moulded mullions on the W side, an exceptionally large ground floor hearth, and oak panelling of c.1600.
