There are several modern additions between the wings, and at the end of the south-west wing.

Inside the building, the south-east wing has chamfered ceiling-beams and flat joists partly exposed; the south-west wing has an open timber ceiling. Some original panelling has been re-used in various parts of the house, and there is one original panelled door with cock's head hinges. Condition - good. <3> Bevingdon House.
