Interior
Essentially, the structure of the original remains intact, albeit partially encased in additions, and
extensively renewed on restoration. The original layout can be traced in part, though there has been much
alteration to the plan, including opening out the entire upper storey, and removing the ceiling in the added
bays to the north to create a single space open to the roof. It appears to have comprised a 3-unit
cross-passage plan with the chimney backing onto the passage, beyond which was a small outer room;
beyond the fireplace was a hall and two inner rooms, with 3 chambers upstairs. At the ground floor, the
early structure is visible, though the plan has been modified: it appears to have comprised cross passage
and outer room to south of the fireplace (now a single room, though with evidence for the earlier partition),
and hall to its north, divided by a surviving post and panel partition from paired inner rooms beyond (these
also now a single room, further opened out into the added north bay): quality of finish on the timber-work
to the hall and passage bay is notably higher than elsewhere, with stop-chamfered beams and joists.
At first floor, the original north end gable now forms an internal partition at first floor level (the lower wall
removed), with 4x2 panels of quatrefoil, all now lacking any infill material. Queen and king post truss
above, slightly forward of the partition, from which it is jettied on brackets, above slim pilasters worked
onto the faces of the studs. The north bay was formerly separated from the central main chamber by a
partition (now missing). The two bays of the former main chamber are demarcated by a very unusual spere
truss. Stack between central and south bays, with queen strut truss embedded in it; south bay has one strut
truss of this type, also with evidence for a partition now missing, then the original south gable end is
exposed with its decorative panelling, and queen and king-post truss similar to the north gable.
