Interior: hall has large spine beams and joists with ogee stops and
bressumer with panelled board-and-muntin heck screen; Cl7 staircase
with finely-turned oak balusters and newels with oak panelling below.
Wing: front room has large raised-and-fielded panelling with dado rail
and casement-moulded plaster cornice and spine-bean; rear room has corner
fireplace and large spine-beam supported on wooden corbel to oak-post,
perhaps the only indicator of an earlier timber-framed house; upper
chamber has king-post truss with 12 ¨V" struts, braced to ridge. 3rd
cell has large arched fireplace.

A fine house preserving much of its original fenestration and several
interior fittings, which with its garden wall, gate-piers and 2 large
barns (q q.v.) perhaps preserves an unaltered C17 appearance better
than any other in the parish.
