Rear elevation of main block has canted bays with flat roofs

INTERIOR: the main L-plan range is of high quality softwood
timber-framing, probably of the C18. The staircase is late C18
of one straight flight with early example of column newel,
turned balusters and carved and shaped tread ends. One ground
floor room has late C18 Adamesque fire surround. Fragment of
earlier timber-frame to rear of north-east gable. Tall

separated by a partition (now removed) of studwork with
evidence for door openings. Above this, there is now a
loft-like room. This high quality structure was possibly a
former kitchen to an earlier front range. The coach house has
angle ties at eaves level and 2 markedly cambered tie beams.
Chaise House is included in the list for the first time.
