Inserted casement window to L and renewed casement R of doorway in earlier opening. First-floor beam ends exposed in front wall. In the upper storey is a window offset to R beneath the wall plate with restored diamond mullions. Smithy is 1-storey L-plan range forward on L side, with inserted openings all late C20.

Chamfered but not stopped beams inserted in C17 conversion. Cruck-blades have been recorded visible at first floor level.
