Minor rear extensions, including a lean-to conservatory in rear right angle.
3-window range of tripartite sashes of 4-12-4 lights. Central glazed door with
marginal lights, fluted architrave, panelled jambs, Greek Doric portico. Simple
plaster cornice, plain parapet, hipped roof. The central 2 bays comprise an
entrance/stair hall with curved stair of c.1800, with wreathed mahogany
handrail, slender turned lotus balusters, and cast iron newels with guilloche
and other ornament. The sides of the upper part of the stair are panelled in
pine, with pine boarding to the soffit. On the lower right wall C17 painting of
an arcade pattern is present, covered by wallpaper. The transverse beam is
roll-moulded, chamfered on one side to clear the inserted stair; the floorboards
are original, of oak. Axial beams in the outer bays, boxed in. The original
rear wing has some close studding -exposed internally, blocked windows in the
left wall, and a chamfered axial beam, unstopped, the joists plastered to the

but is of C17 construction. The roof is original, of clasped purlin
construction. Exceptionally high storeys. An early C17 ovolo-moulded timber,
probably the sill of an oriel window, found in the roof, has been re-used as a
pelmet in the left ground-floor room.
