The western side of the house was added - probably by WILLIAM MARCHANT - an d h a s a drainpipe with his and wife MARY's monogram plus the date 1678. Next t o t h e drainpipe is a Sun firemark with policy No. 2658. One room downstairs ha s a n e normous Inglenook fireplace with two inset ovens and a salt store. Thi s roo m ha s wooden panels engraved with fish - an obvious allusion to THOMAS MA RCHAN T an d his carp.
The master bedroom contains a little cubicle with primitive toilet.
Over the centuries the house has been extended and changed. The original par t s a re probably 16th century as is the extension on the eastern side. Some "mo de rnis ation" was carried out in Georgian times. The Victorians added a large c him ney w hich extends down the front of the house and incorporates 4 fireplaces .
