The ground floor interior retains decorative detail and plasterwork. The first floor has original fireplaces, openings and arches, but the cornices and panelling appear to be modern replacements. The second floor has some original cornices and skirting boards. The caretaker's flat is on the fourth floor and retains some nice small domestic-scale fireplaces. The domed steel-framed roof is attractive.
