Interior

Former hall and inner room (now one room) at west end, wide entrance passage, large parlour at east end. One blade and tie beam of an original cruck truss survive on the west side of the passage. The tie beam is cut to form a segmental arched door head. Abutting the doorway is a large inserted stack of c.1600. The passage has ogee-moulded beams and stone stairs which rise towards the front wall. A post and panel screen with ovolo mouldings and doorway with moulded frame and cranked head divides off the later C17 parlour. This room has ovolo-moulded beams and window lintel and ogee-moulded fireplace lintel (re-set). On the first floor the central partition truss has exposed square-panel infill framing incorporating a doorway with ornate head. The east end truss has its tie-beam cut to form a Tudor arch over a small fire-place (infilled with later hob grate).
