{3} Information that the roof of the building still contains parts of the original thatch under the corrugated tin roof covering. The 'lower half of the roof interior is covered in a horse hair plaster and the upper half was left as bare thatch'. Some seed heads reportedly present, and the thatch is secured in a number of places with twisted hazel rods.
The attic space contains a possibly original 'very low door with iron fittings' and there is a re-used panelled foor on the ground floor between the hall and living room.
