and early C19 eight/eight-pane sashes flanking an 8-panel door

late C18 doors with rim locks, early C19 dog-leg staircase and
elliptical arch to the landing, and part of a late C19
cast-iron arch-plate to a former register grate, now with an
inserted C20 grate. The limestone rubble rear wing, at
first-floor level, set into the hillside, is totally
remodelled apart from an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered,
almost flat, arch to the Moolham stone lintel, and stopped
chamfers to the jambs; to the right of the fireplace is a
bread oven.
