The house now looks much as it would have done in the 1640s. The rebuilt house has an oak timber frame, with a stone ground floor and exposed, random stone walls to the side and ground floor.
There is a decorative band of herringbone brickwork at first floor level.
A massive hand-hewn Bressummer beam supports the chimney breast.
The rebuilding of the house, with its improved levels of comfort and privacy, reflected the rise of the “gentry” class who wished to distinguish themselves as a separate class and cultural group.
