At the rear, there are small chamfered wooden mullion windows and a projecting staircase bay with a two-light window featuring leaded panes. A rear wing, dating from the 17th century, creates an L-shaped plan and has brick chimney stacks at the ridge. Inside, the building has jointed cruck trusses that show signs of smoke-blackening, stopped and chamfered ceiling beams, and a fireplace with a chamfered bressummer and stone jambs. The rear staircase has turned balusters and newels.
