plaster cornice. The doors and joinery at ground floor are all painted with
imitation wood graining, of circa 1950, but of very high quality. The kitchen to
rear left has C20 range inserted in the fireplace; C19 mantel and gun rack, with
settle by the rear window. Servants' bells and service stair boxed in to rear left.
The dairy and larder to rear right have slate paving, and a wooden bacon rack is
