Access to the splendid billiard room is provided by a grand total of five doors, two of which lead from the balcony situated at the front of the house. A cast iron bridge from the rear garden leads to another. The final two doors are internal and connect with the hallway and the Arabic room.
As in the Music Room there is a vaulted apex ceiling 20ft high.The room measures 30ft x 24ft. An 8ft wide, hand carved mahogany angel overlooks the newly felted full size snooker table illuminated by a set of 19th century oil lamps (converted to electric). A framed and glazed notice board houses a wide selection of photographs which follow the development of Moongate from its humble beginnings to its present grandeur. A blazing fire can be lit in the 19th century hand carved Indian rosewood fireplace complete with a bevel edged mirror panel and an original cast iron grate and fire back. This is complemented by 19th century fire dogs and fender.
