Unheated room at left [NW] end, hall at centre heated from fireplace in axial stack with entrance lobby in front.

INTERIOR: Centre room [hall] has chamfered axial beam with hollow step stops, unchamfered joists and blocked brick fireplace with cambered stop-chamfered timber bressumer. Plank-and-muntin screen between hall and left room with bead arris mouldings to muntins and chamfered head beam with long hollow step stops. The left room has a chamfered axial beam with long hollow step stops and unchamfered joists. The room at the right end has two thin chamfered axial beams with run-out stops and blocked fireplace. Some C19 plank doors and simple C19 staircase. Heavy scantling timber-frame partition over the plank-and-muntin screen with posts, rails and collar; the original roof over the upper end of the house remains largely intact and is complete with its common-rafter couples, but the principals of the truss have been truncated above the purlins.
