Central chimney rises to rear of ridge. W side has a side chimney to the S room of the W wing and 3 flush casement windows to each floor. The interior has chamfered jowled posts and cranked tie-beam to upper floor of W wing, head mortices and shutter groove for a 3-light diamond mullioned window in front of present fireplace of middle room on Ground floor, an elaborately moulded cut bracket supporting the axial beam in that room, chamfered and stopped axial beam in the larger E bay into which the E wing is divided, with a fine carved oak wall cupboard of c1600 in the SE corner with frieze, fluted pilasters and strapwork inlay pattern.
