The windows are C19 and C20 wooden and metal casements; the front door (S) is late C19, with 2 heights of triple gothic panels with 4-centred heads in an older and wider oak frame (adapted).

The drawing room has a pair of ovolo-moulded ceiling beams and end-plates. The staircase is continuous to the attics and is late C18, of oak with beaded square newel-posts and a shaped handrail; the lower runs incorporate thick pierced splat balusters removed within living memory from Penyrwrlodd & datable to 1650, together with large ovolo-moulded newelposts with vase-shaped finials. In the wing, the cellar is under the rear room only, the 3 rooms in the wing having different floor levels. The 2 original rooms have deep-chamfered ceiling beams without stops; the front room has beams with much smaller chamfers.

Above, the hall chamber has ovolo-moulded beams as below. The original L-shaped roofs have collared trusses and abut the cat-slide roof at an open truss.
