Carefully preserved original period features add considerable character, including impressive sandstone steps leading to a Victorian stone arched porch, intricate mosaic tiled flooring, deep skirting boards, traditional sash windows, beautifully detailed architraves, dado and picture rails, and finely moulded plaster cornices and ceiling roses. Marble and wooden fireplace surrounds further enrich the principal reception rooms, complemented by the unique charm of a traditional dumb waiter.
