Standard hardwood casement windows of 1985 with imitation diamond-leaded glazing. Central mid C20 plank door. Internal stack has rendered shaft.

Some irregular heavy joists in service end, others C19 replacements. Inserted floor in hall has plain joists set flat, supported at one end by a ledge against the stack. Good open fireplace with original lintol, the large bricks probably C18. C16 2-bay parlour addition to right, one bay containing the stack. Good, intact studding on both floors, closely-spaced chamfered joists in parlour.
