Interior: At the entrance to the former passage, one ceiling beam remains to left
with mortices for a former screen partition to the lower end room to left. The beams
in the passage are chamfered with run-out stops. The lower end room has C19 ceiling
beams, and end fireplace with roughly hewn timber lintel and cloam oven to rear right
with cast iron door. The room in the rear wing retains some ceiling beams which are
roughly hewn with chamfer; the gable end fireplace has re-set timber lintel with
chamfer and step stops. The two rooms to right and the first floor were not
accessible at time of survey (October 1987). The fireplace to the axial stack
appears to have been blocked; there are no roof trusses visible at the wall-tops at
first floor.
