The first storey has boot-scraper recess, 2 replaced 2-pane horned sashes, one flush sash with glazing bars removed and a door of 6 fielded panels in a panelled case with eared architrave and shaped cornice. The second storey has 2 flush sashes with glazing bars removed and 2 replaced recessed horned sashes.

Some upper brickwork, east, is rebuilt; painted stone cornice; chimney removed; rear extended. INTERIOR: the cellar walls, recently plastered, are probably partly of stone; concreted floors; a stop-chamfered oak beam; a sandstone stair with winders. The first storey front room, east, is oak-panelled with a dado rail, one row of fielded panels beneath it and a tall row above it; panelled overmantel; cornice. The west front room has a painted timber Roman Doric column, probably one of a former pair, and a panelled ceiling with painted bar-and-ogee-stopped chamfered beams. The thick central wall was evidently formerly a party wall. The rear rooms have no visible features of interest. There are 2 stairs, that formerly to the east house more simple than that to the west. The dogleg east stair has square newels, closed string, covered steps and alternately column-on-vase and barleysugar balusters; the dogleg west stair has open string, shaped brackets, covered steps, 3 column-on-vase balusters per step, one in 3 spirally-moulded, curtail, wreathed and swept rail and fluted pilasters to panelled dado.
