Not inspected but the owner said it was unchanged from 1997 listing. This states the building has a late Georgian interior including broad 6-panel doors, shutters, dados, skirtings, and, more unusually, wall-panelling. Entrance passage has full-height pine boarding to left and door into former dining-room, the boarding in alternate wide and narrow boards, like sub-medieval partitions. The wall to right is not boarded and does not have a corresponding doorway. Left room has boxed ceiling beams and flat-headed recess each side of fireplace. Right room, former drawing-room, reached from rear of stair hall, has similar recesses, and boxed ceiling beams with reeded borders. At centre rear was harness room, now bathroom and to the E of that is former parlour with broad fireplace and timber lintel, C19 ceiling. Stair hall is entered on 2 sides under cambered arches on simple cornices. On rear N side is kitchen with stop-chamfered beam and fireplace lintel, the only features suggesting an early origin. Fireplace said to have bread ovens. Stair hall has narrower 6-panel door to cellar. Dog-leg late C18 stair with turned balusters, moulded rail and panelled dado, stair continuing up to attic. First floor best bedroom has panelling up to frieze level with fielded panels, broad architrave and cornices, built-in cupboards and with 4-panel doors, over panels, and pegged racks within. Panelling beneath wallpaper in other main bedroom. Variety of 2-panel and 4-panel doors to bedrooms of C18 character. Roof of five and a half bays with collar trusses, three bays to rear wing.
