The lounge retains C18 butterfly and H-hinges to the window shutters and the dining room has some original sash frames cut across to convert to later C19 sashes. 1st floor retains early C18 staircase balustrading (the lower part of the staircase is C19), 4 early C18 2 panelled doors and a wooden fire surround with corner urns and central patera with swags.

The alterations were made for Major General Oldfield who had 22 children.
