Interior: various early C20 bolection-moulded fire-surrounds, that in the entrance with large double-tiered mantel surround in neo-Jacobean style (probably late C19), with central circa 1730-40 Swithland slate surround with panelled sides, imposts, keyblock and lintel with carved bird and flower relief decoration. Stone-flagged entrance hall with heavy egg and dart and ribbon-work cornices. Stair rising though two storeys at rear of hall. Anti-clockwise rectangular open-well stair with shorter intermediate flights, probably circa 1720-40. Iron twist balusters with gadrooned bulbs and square knops. Corniced tread-ends and profiled cheek-pieces. Open ramped rail. Columnar newel-posts with upturned gadrooned upturned over. Footsplay and bull-nosed curtail step.
