Inside, there is a room at the back, now part of a showroom, which contains a late 16th-century fireplace. This fireplace has a plaster overmantel featuring the Royal Arms and is flanked by caryatid figures. Nearby, there is a four-light oak window with mullions and transoms, which retains good original casement catches. The building was gutted in 1973. Nos 192 to 203 form a group with this property.
