The hall itself is an impressive and welcoming feature with a reclaimed mahogany floor, ceiling arch in the main hall and a winding staircase to the upper floor accommodation. A further part glazed door leads through to the rear hall while off the hall at the front is the lounge with an impressive panelled bay window with former shuttering to side and recessed cast iron fire (converted to gas but could be reinstated to open fire if desired) with the decorative pictorial tiled side panels set within the fire surround and with recessed displays to the side.
