cavetto moulded 4-centred arch frame with fern-leaf carved spandrels, inscribed

Interior: Lower right room has blocked fireplace and exposed ceiling beams.
Large centre room (hall) has closely spaced chamfered cross-beams, some with
straight-cut stops and larger fireplace with chamfered granite monolith jambs and
chamfered timber lintel with ogee stops and a cloan oven. Plank and muntin

staircase with stack balusters at back of passage. The left (west) end room has
no exposed features. Dairy has some slate shelves and C20 partition. One
surviving circa late C16 or early C17 truss over centre appears to be slightly
smoke blackened. It is a raised arch truss with chamfered curved feet the
chamfer continuing on the soffit of the cambered collar which is dove-tail lap-
jointed to the principals; trenched purlins and trenched diagonal ridge-piece.
The other later trusses have halved, lapped and pegged collars and halved and
