Behind this front is a spacious lofty room with ribbed and compartmented barrel vaulted ceiling, decorated with husk and rinceaux garlands. On the south side the vault is cut into by 2 round headed windows with concentric glazing pattern. The ribs of the vault spring from a deeply moulded cornice, supported at intervals by large consoles, carried round all 4 walls. The west wall has additional feature of bold pilaster swags and ribbons whilst on the north wall is a heavy carved wood chimney piece with mirror over-mantel and scrolled open pediment. The low terrace around the house and ballroom, has a cast iron interlinked circle railing articulated by cornice capped stone dies.
