The Pager Rooms were built by the architect John Coates Carter of Penarth on land donated by the Earl of Plymouth in 1906. They have a painted roughcast render over brown glazed brick plinth and the upper storey has a row of seven small pane casement windows with small round window to the left and a parapet above. The central main entrance consists of a low round arch flanked by Ionic columns with exaggerated capitals and paired glazed wooden doors with a multi-paned overlight. The entrance arch is flanked by two taller arches (with keystones and raised voussoir-like decoration) enclosing at first floor level semi-circular small pane windows, and at ground floor level shopfronts to each side.

Inside a vestibule with panelled side walls with oval mirrors leads to the entrance hall and to the right there are stairs leading to the balcony. There is an auditorium with a broad coved ceiling and four deep tall round-arched bays with modern seating in recesses below theatre boxes with bulbous balcony fronts. There is kitchen accommodation overlooking Victoria Road and above the kitchen, there is a caretaker's flat. To the NE end of the auditorium there is a modernised stage and dressing/service rooms with ledged boarded doors with long strap hinges and a staircase to the right which has balusters with pierced heart-shaped decoration.
