All the windows on the main elevation are mid C20 and are recessed deeply into the wall; only the stone mullioned window is not like this.

South-west fireplace to middle wing with dressed stone jambs and wooden bressumer; stone fireplace stairs to north-west; seats to front windows; c1800 fireplace with stone arched head at north-east end. Upper floor not seen at resurvey.
