This is some of the original
coving around the ceilings.
Most are now covered by
suspended ceilings but i
managed to grab a shot. Some
of the patterns around the
house are quite intricate which
would lead me to believe that
the owners at one time were
quite affluent in comparison to
most locals farmers.

There is only one room in the building
which seems untouched. My great
aunt spent time in here when she
was a kid, she told me that all the
rooms had beautiful wooden
paneling. Now only one room bears
the wood, the rest having been torn
down due to refurbishment. This
room also has the original wood
beams running across the Jacobean
style ceiling and you can clearly see
where the old fire cooking equipment
sat. This room at one time was used
as a kitchen and dressed up in a
mock Tudor style kitchen. I wonder
how many people have cooked in
here over the past 288 years ???

This is the same room as
above. You can see the
lovely wooden Jacobean
beams running across
the ceiling and the lead
glass in the windows.

The steps which lead to
the basement. If you
follow the steps down the
wall stops just below in
the picture. The room
must be no more than 2m
by 2m. The basement
must have been sealed off
for some reason over the
years. It would be great
to see what has been
hidden away.

The remains of an old
window inside the farm
house which has been
sealed up. The window
is inside one of the walls
at the back of the house,
which would lead me to
believe that some of the
back of the house is a
more recent extension.

This is the entrance
porch ceiling. You can
still see the decorative
pattern around the
outside which remains in
fairly good condition for
its age. A Nasty 70's
light sits within the
middle of the ceiling
above the doorway.
