The exterior boasts some of his best brick work, including an ornate cornice at the front roofline and the historic brick archway and walkway connecting the private garden to the street. Inside, the living room's wood-burning fireplace is also original and features a mantle handmade by McCartney. The rear retaining wall of the property features a unique mural by artist D.
