Queen strut and collar beam roof trusses, the end trusses with raking struts to the heavy principals, and short straight wind braces to both end bays. Trusses defining the narrow fire bay were originally closed with wattle and daub, some of which survives. Double trenched purlins. Winding stair in stair bay outside main frame, opposite the main stack. Unsophisticated handrail with slightly wavy splat balusters. Main end parlour fireplace has multiple moulded fire beam.

Reasons for Listing

The timber framed house largely survives, enclosed in later skin, and is of special interest for not having suffered from unfortunate modernisation or additions.
