On the first floor, there is a 20th-century two-light casement window to the left and a 20th-century four-light casement window to the right. Inside, there is a 20th-century straight-flight staircase, an open fireplace on the ground floor to the right, and a Queen-post roof with windbraces. There is also a 20th-century addition to the left of the house.
