The 2000 square foot studio, with kitchen and bathroom facilities, has a more contemporary feel, with steel, aluminium and reclaimed features. The 2000 square foot loft has a vaulted ceiling, exposed brickwork, original windows and a 1000 square foot mezzanine.

There is 3-phase electric wiring, changing rooms, small kitchen area, loading area, off-street parking and goods lift. Props are changed regularly, and are an eclectic mix of 19th and 20th century furniture and lighting.
