Moulded wooden architrave to central entrance, with flanking pilasters supporting an open pediment. Contemporary 6-panel door with raised and fielded panels; decorative segmental fanlight.

The ground-floor L room has a simple decorative plaster cornice; that to the R has a segmental niche cupboard with simply-moulded arched head, fluted pilasters and projecting keystone; panelled window reveals.
