The wealth of materials include American yellow pine floor boards throughout, cast-iron ornate radiators in every room, co-ordinating stained glass in exterior and interior doors, converted original Victorian light fittings, cast iron and granite fireplaces, some original period tap fittings and beamed ceilings reclaimed from the docks in Liverpool. The house benefits from double glazing and LPG central heating throughout.
