The Entrance Hall is designed to look like the inside of a Greco-Roman temple, with twelve painted half-columns lining the walls.

A Greek key and ox-skull pattern decorates the plasterwork frieze around the top of the room, which is repeated on the mantelpiece and door frames, designed to create a sense of architectural unity across the space. The Hall also has a typical ‘Adam’ ceiling made up of symmetrical geometric patterns and characteristic icing-like plasterwork.

The plasterwork friezes on either side of the room depict mythological scenes, one showing the Marriage of Neptune and Amphitrite and the other the Chariot of Phaeton.
