The building has a ground floor panelled fascia and a cusped arcaded frieze with roll-moulded coping.

Its roof is supported by square piers that form an arcaded frieze embellished with drop pendants beneath a wide panelled and bracketed cornice.

Indeed, it is difficult, upon entering the huge room, to know where to look first: the ceiling with its geometrical pattern of squares and octogons and deep arcaded frieze, the many portraits or the polished steel and brass fire dogs bearing the arms of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
