Of special note are 2 low relief, plaster roundels on east wall, that on the ground floor depicting a handmaiden washing the feet of a mourning woman (perhaps a Homeric scene), rendered in Neoclassical style; the 1st-floor landing, in similar style, a shepherd admiring women (the Judgment of Paris). Several rooms with fire surrounds in plain Neoclassical style; Victorian additions, principally mouldings.
