INTERIOR: exposed beams; doglegged staircase to 1st floor with closed string and turned balusters; fielded panel doors on both floors, those to the front rooms with H-L hinges and those to the back rooms with lug hinges (allowing the doors to lifted off); very small chamber fireplaces in front rooms (now blocked) with deep cambered lintels; purlin roof including some re-used timbers.
