INTERIOR: no part of the timber frame is exposed inside, the interior having been entirely Georgianised. Stair to 1st storey with turned balusters, closed strings and wreathed moulded handrail. Windows with internal panelled shutters; 6-panelled doors with eared architraves. On the top storey the balustrade to the stair is in Chinese style. In the northern ground storey room, a fine Greek Revival plaster frieze and cornice with circular paterae between the triglyphs. The top storey of the front range is an addition with a C19 roof; a lower rear range at right-angles has a C18 side-purlin roof.
