chimneys. Interior retains C17 floor plan: recessed porch leads to main rooms
l and r: two ingle nooks back-to-back (under central chimney stack) with deep
oak smoke-hood beams, backs chamfered. 6-panelled door to south wing (perhaps
originally a separate cottage). Most other internal doors thin (1/2 inch) ledges

which suggest possible timber-framed structure preceding present brick and
stone outer walls. Surviving timbers C17. Roof timbers not visible.
