Large blocked diamond-mullioned windows in the hall; several others also survive from C16 and C17 phases. Close-studwork with shortened arch-type wind-bracing. In C17, the parlour was enlarged and a chimney built between it and the hall, with arched fireplaces to parlour and chamber above, ana a lintelled opening in the hall.
