The south gable has two six-panel doors, one giving access to the gallery at first floor level.

The straight flight of stairs, said to come from Shavington Park, Shropshire, has turned balusters and massive square newels with moulded caps. At first floor level there is two-panel-high oak dado panelling with reeded muntins which came from Eaton Hall, near Chester. The roof has two original oak king post trusses, oak purlins and ridgetree.
