Basement: the only original feature to be seen is a mid C19 timber chimney-piece (with modern inserted grate) flanked by matching built in cupboards either side. Service wing: within the records-room is to be found a mid C19 rosette with swirl-leaf centre, proving that the wing is primary to the main house.

Two niches flank the half landing that serves the service-wing upper floor (this is the original position of a lost arch-topped window). The upper-floor bedrooms retain their fireplaces, both have timber chimney-pieces, one of which matches the style and position of it's neighbour to the west. One has a mid C19 grate, the other is boarded. The window reveals are panelled to resemble internal-shutters. Access to the loft is gained by a panelled-off simple-style staircase, no features are to be seen within the attic.
