Short C19 boarded draught screen to hall, with later boarded continuation, forming a passage borrowed from the hall. Fine stopped-chamfered beams and joists to ceilings and partly flagged floors. Wide fireplace with stopped-chamfered bressummer and, to the R, a late C17 cupboard niche with segmental arch. This lies in front of the primary stair recess, the stone steps of which are said to survive in part; late C17 plank-panelled window seats to (former) hall and parlour. Leading off the hall via a later door, a fine late C17 dog-leg staircase with square capped newels and flat S-shaped balusters. This continues up to the attic floor where there is a short balustraded gallery; original oak treads and risers. The first floor retains its original arrangement of three rooms and a short passage, with three post-and-panel partitions bearing grooved decoration; original oak plank doors with iron hinges. Stopped-chamfered ceiling joists and random-width oak floorboards throughout. Blocked fireplace to R bedroom, with bressummer exposed; this has a small incorporated cupboard to R with a surviving C17 hinge (door lost). To the R of this, the primary stair recess with further original post-and-panel partition; late C17 2-panel oak door with plain architrave and contemporary H-hinges. In the bedroom at L, a further plank-panelled window seat. 3-bay roof to attic with original pegged collar trusses.
