Dairy projection has two 2-light casements to front and large buttresses to rear right side corner. Brief internal inspection of through-passage only revealed very rich detailing, 17th century oak panelling with cambered arched doorway to hall, 17th century rear through-passage and crosswing doorways with ovolo-moulded surrounds and richly carved stops to the base of the jambs. Impressive front through-passage door with 2 large panels above 12 smaller panels with thick cover strips and moulded surround to doorway with bulbous and foliated carvings above rams horns stops to the base of the jambs. Remainder of this high quality interior and roof space not inspected. The house, granary and stable piggeries and yard walls make a good group.
