Centre of rear elevation has projecting two and a half storey gabled stair turret. Interior: C19 six-panelled doors. Left room has C19 panelled shutters, C20 bressumer over open fireplace with chamfered stone jambs and overmantel with arcaded panelling; flanking fireplace is green painted C17 panelling; chamfered beam with elaborate stops, elaborate early C17 plasterwork of jewelled strapwork on ceiling. Right room has chamfered and stopped beam and chamfered bressumer over open fireplace. C17 plank door to newel stairs. First floor left room has mid C19 fireplace and grate, chamfered and stopped beam. C17 panelled shutters to far right blocked window. C17 plank door in attic.
