A full height bay window faces a viewing gallery at 1st floor level above the entrance. Another small room is fitted with C18 style panelling and ceiling plasterwork. A larger saloon has flat Adam style decoration. Traces of woodwork and carving similar to the first room and Jacobean style doors and architraves in the hall and other rooms; also a staircase and stairwell in Jacobean style. Room north of main saloon has damaged decorated ceiling concealed by slung modern ceiling. Former matron's office; altered by partition etc., has good ceiling, fireplace and panelling. Upstairs refurbishment in 1930s has introduced some woodworks and bathroom fittings in Art Deco style. HISTORICAL NOTE: the house was owned 1894-1908 by Sir Joseph Joel Duveen, art dealer and collector, who had it richly embellished in the 1890s, possibly employing Collcutt, who had also worked in his West End showrooms as decorator. It stands on the site of Mother Huff's Tea Gardens which flourished here for 50 years from 1678.
