The 2 northernmost windows are 16-pane sashes, the others are mid C19 6-paned sashes.

The interior ground floor retains part of massive spire beam and there is a wooden beam decorated with painted spiral decorations and some other panels of painted plaster depicting the load of a stag and fishscale decorations, probably C16 but not in situ. Roof not accessive at time of survey but said to retain old timbers. The framing has been completely boxed in with plaster-board but the shape is typical of an open hall house. The Council are said to retain further panels of painted plaster which came from this building.
