Single-storey porch has moulded door surround, segmental-arched lintel, enriched spandrels and date

C17 well cupboard with carved doors and butterfly hinges has a bolection-moulded fire surround with coved cornice mantel.
First floor cupboard with H-hinges and "MS 1692" carved at head. A well-preserved house retaining many of its original fittings. The double-depth plan is of a particularly early
