Low ceilings with exposed beams, a superb plank and muntin screen with stained glass panels, asymmetrical rooms with thick solid walls, casement windows and window seats and in the lounge an impressive open stone fireplace with an aged oak lintel. Although the lounge is carpeted at present there is a full wooden parquet floor beneath.
