Entrance Corridor The corridor has bright primrose yellow satin wallpapered walls, a low hanging candelabra which sevres to amuse everyone save Mr Boscastle, who is vexed by it. There is a set of dark wooden stairs leading upstairs and under an archway the corridor narrows to lead to the other rooms. There is a wooden table on which stands a bowl of waxen fruit (a rather tastless purchase of Mrs Boscastle) a coat rack and an umbrella stand. The only family portrait hangs above the table.
The Parlour The Parlour over looks the street, and is a rather dark room, so to lighten it, the walls are painted a dusky pink. There is a small elegantly carved white fire place. A small brass candelabra hangs from the ceiling and there is a dark plum carpet covering the creaking floorboards. The furniture is mis matching and takes up most of the small room, there are two cream armchairs and a pink striped sofa as well as a small window seat. There is an antique grand father clock in one corner, a small china cabinet in another and a small coffee table with a vase of silk flowers on it. (Another tastless purchase of Mrs Boscastle's) The walls are decorated by framed oil paintings done by the three eldest daughters.
The Dining Room The dining room is larger than the parlour and is more light and airy. It has rich forest green walls with white wooden panelling edging it. There is a small white fireplace over which hangs one of the few mirrors in the house. The dining table dominates the room and can comfortably seat ten. It is made of handsome polished oak and the dining chairs match. The floor is polished and uncovered. The windows show a different view of South Parade, but still front wards facing and are surrounded by dark green thick Indian cotton curtains. A few cluttered china valuables line the fire place and stand on a long narrow side table.
The Study The study is Mr Boscastle's retreat, to try and manage his business affairs and indulge in his library when the house of women gets too much for him. The room has cream painted wooden panelling, dark green curtains- the same as the dining room and is very small. It only has room for a writing beaureau, two small book cases, a spindly chair at the beaureau, a thread bare rug, a fireplace and a battered armchair beside it with a small table for Mr Boscastle's candle and cup of tea.
The Master Bedroom The master bedroom where Mr and Mrs Boscastle sleep has pale cream walls and two small windows either side of the handsome four poster bed, have peach velvet curtains to match the cream and peach blankets and pillows- something Mr Boscastle detests, but does not object so much when he sleeps. There is a small floral rug on the floor by Mrs Boscastle's side of the bed, a polished cherrywood wardobe and a matching chest of drawers with a mirror on top, there is a fuschia pink satin arm chair in one corner- a wedding gift from Mrs Boscastle's mother, and a small table with a china jug and bowl on it. There is a sketch of Mr Boscastle's father as a young man hanging above the bed.
Juliet and Araminta's Room The smallest bedroom in the house belongs to the two eldest sisters- Juliet and Araminta- yet it also happens to be the nicest bedroom. It is light and airy with apple green walls, a large double bed with a pink floral embroidered quilt covering it. A large dark cherry pink silk canopy hangs above it. The only other furniture in the room are two chests of drawers and a small chair covered in floral cushions. There is a painting of their house in Ireland over one of the chest of drawers.
Annalisse's and Patience's Room The third bedroom is larger than the one shared by Juliet and Araminta, but is darker, the walls are a deep blue and a large handsome bed dominates the room. It is covered in an intricately patterened white and blue quilt made by all the Boscastle sisters. There is a small wardrobe and chest in the room, a rocking chair with a blue and white cushion on it and a small side table for the candle and a china jug and bowl.
