Inside the entrance is a small stair-hall with straight closed-string stair between the rear of the fireplace and the gable end wall. To the L is the hall, which has a large fireplace, the original timber lintel encased within a Victorian mantle-piece and bearing an inscription 'EHL 11 May 1653'; the initials are said to relate to Evan Humphrey and Lowry, his wife. The ceiling has 2 deeply chamfered spine beams with ogee stops, and Victorian boarding covering plain joists. Opposite the fireplace is a post-and-panel dais partition bearing carpenter's marks, which has an old door on its L side leading into the larger of the 2 inner rooms; the axial partition is now plastered, but is said to be of post-and-panel construction for part of its length. The ceiling has cross- and spine- beams without stops which do not appear to be original. A corridor has been made along the N axial wall of the house, incorporating part of the hall; to the W it leads into the smaller inner room, and to the E it leads into a bathroom. Inside the bathroom, the rear NE angle of the fireplace appears cut-away; this may be the position of an early staircase. Leading off the corridor to the N is the kitchen wing, which has a large fireplace to L with cambered timber lintel, the ceiling with 2 deeply chamfered spine-beams with ogee stops, and plain joists.

Part of one cruck blade was seen upstairs, along with purlins to the roof. Some box-framed partitions are retained, the orignal wattle exposed in one panel, along with Victorian boarding.

A long 2-window range of one-and-a-half storeys, constructed of random stone under a steeply pitched slate roof with stone ridge stack towards R; narrow brick end stack to L. The attic storey is lit by 2 full-height gabled dormers; these have 2 tiers of close-studding, the jettied gables with diamond framing. The bressumer of the L dormer is inscribed with the initials MH. Front entrance to far R containing a boarded door with 2-pane overlight. The windows are 3-light wooden casements with quarries, that lighting the hall larger and with a transom; the ground floor windows have old timber lintels. The W gable end is of random stone and contains no openings, whilst the E gable end appears to have been rebuilt in box-panelling, its gable weather-boarded. Two-light window offset to R of ground floor, and single light offset to L of attic storey. To the rear of the house is a further gabled dormer, offset to R; it contains a 3-light window as elsewhere and its gable is weather-boarded; 3-light window beneath, to ground floor. To the centre is a small 2-light window, some old graded slates retained to the roof pitch. To the L of the elevation is the kitchen wing, constructed of box-panelling on a stone plinth; the N gable is weather-boarded with a 2-light casement. Attached beneath is a late C20 timber conservatory. To W side of kitchen wing is a gabled fireplace projection with large stone stack. The E side has a 3-light window to each storey, that to attic in a small gabled dormer.
