RCHM Typescript comments on a 3 rooms plan with originally a smoke-bay to W of middle room (unusual position), cross-passage at its E end, and form and size of fireplace added at E end with staircase beside it shows that this became the parlour end. Interior has exposed framing with jowled posts, tension bracing in cross-wall, and clasped-purlin roof on collar-and-queen strut trusses with curved wind-braces. Edge-halved scarf in front wallplate.
