The interior has been partly replanned and modernised but retains many original features. The rooms of the older part of the house retain ovolo moulded cross beams. In the N wing the staircase has original square newels and is thought by RCAHMW to have been reconstructed in the late C18. The mid C17 E block has a room to each floor. The ground floor room has a contemporary cornice of moulded plaster reliefs of military trophies (cannon, ammunition, firearms, helms and gauntlets) interspersed with blank shields; these also adorn the soffit of the cross beam. Above the fireplace is a coloured plaster panel containing an achievement [Gules]a chevron between three helmets [Argent] (Tudor for Bold) impaling Hwfa ap Cynddelw, supported by 2 figures, flanked by curtains and columns. The first floor room has a moulded, plastered beam with drops on the soffit which are repeated on the moulded cornice. The plan of the cornice moulding indicates the former existence of a 5-sided vestibule in the corner of the room by the door. Above the fireplace is a coloured plaster panel in high relief of a biblical or mythological scene flanked by conventionalized palm trees. The fireplace has a slate surround etched with simple and bold floriate designs. The attics were not inspected at the time of the survey but are said, by RCAHM, to contain a corner fireplace with a moulded mantel ledge, above which is a plaster shield, Hwfa ap Cynddelw, suppported by two draped female figures; above which is the date and initials: 164(4) I. BOLD.
