At the rear, there are glazing bar casements and a three-light eyebrow thatched dormer, along with an entrance leading to a 20th-century link to a one-storey addition. Inside, the house retains exposed framing with some alterations, including a chamfered axial binding beam and fireplace bressumer, reverse curved bracing in the end walls, a chamfered doorway, and a central tie beam that was originally cut by a doorway. The window openings have been restored as mullioned windows.
