Each bedroom has a different style of decoration and individual fireplace. The main kitchen is the original kitchen and still has its original wall cupboards. The four-oven aga range is used for cooking and heating water. The room at the rear of the kitchen would have been the servant's kitchen and incorporated a bread oven. The Dining Room's main feature is its late Georgian fireplace and its original windows with rare side catches. The cornice is very distinctive and an excellent example of the type decoration found in stately homes of this period. The room is framed by its mahogany doors which are accentuated in this room by the Barbadian mahogany dining table.
