On the first floor, there are three sixteen-pane hung sash windows. The early 19th-century portico is adorned with render and wood Doric columns. Inside, there are opposing front and rear doorways leading to a hall and stairway, along with an early 19th-century stick baluster staircase. A wall plate is visible in the rear wall. The house is included for its group value.
