One cruck couple partially exposed at the west end, has notched lap- jointed collar and appears to be smoke blackened on both sides with no original infill. The later inserted chimney stack is built up against it. Early C18 large open fireplace with rough chamfered timber lintel and bread oven (opening modified), chamfered and scroll stopped beams and moulded wall post in west room.
