Interior: the interior survives complete and is of exceptional quality. Cut-string stair with patterned tread ends, fluted balusters, and moulded handrail rising through one flight and returning, to a similarly treated balcony, in 2 cantilevered flights. Most of the doors - of 6 beaded panels - survive and are hung in enriched architraves with ornate overdoors in the Adam style. The principal rooms retain elaborate fireplaces in polychrome marble.
