The Entrance Hall The entrance hall has white stone walls, a black and white chequered marble floor and an archway leading to the stairs that lead to the upper private chambers. The foyer is stylishly if minimalistically decorated. There are some potted palms, some antique chairs brought from Sir Danton's estate in the country and two small stone busts of his parents.
The Drawing Room The drawing room also serves as the music room. The walls are a pale peach- gold in colour with white elaborately carved boarders. The carpet that covers the floor is grey and dull golden swirls and flower patterned and there is a elegant marble fire place at the far end of the room. The room is airy and well lit due to a lot of wide French windows. The sofas are a soft grey silk embroidered with dark silver thread and held in ebony frames, which matches the piano forte and harp which stand some metres behind them. There is a solitary golden couch, which is one of Sir Danton's favourite pieces of furniture and a few other potted palms in the room.
The Dining Room The dining room is also known as 'The gothic room' for is as elaborately carved wooden panelling for the walls and a large dining table, that can seat thirty eight very comfortably, dominates the room. It is surrounded by sturdy, high backed chairs. It is covered in grand glass and crystal candle holders, antique vases containing expensive bright flowers that perfume the entire room, exotic fruit in rare porcelain. There are several large cabinets for the silver ware, china and other valuables belonging to the Danton family.
The Parlour The parlour is one of the most sumptuous rooms in the house, it has pale golden walls, covered by large grand paintings of ancestors and one huge gilt framed mirror. There is a large crystal chandelier hanging low from the ceiling and the floor is covered in a faded scarlet and gold carpet. The chairs, chaise longs and couches are all polished walnut frames with faded gold and tan patterned velvet coverings. There are several small tables, vases and family heirlooms carefully arranged on display around the room and a small, but graceful polished piano forte in one corner.
The Breakfast Room The breakfast room is for any private meals consumed by the Danton family and house guests. The room has grey, blue and pale yellow marble walls and is supported by pillars. The windows over look the street and are framed by tan velvet curtains. The oak polished table at the centre of the room can seat six and is surrounded by matching chairs. There is a large gilt mirror opposite the dining table which is rather intimidating for the occupants of the room, but is there on Lady Danton's insistence.
The Study The study is a small, cozy room which acts as a retreat and sanctuary for Sir Danton. It has burning dark salmon walls, a small black fire place surrounded by comfy arm chairs, the walls are lined with book cases and a large comfortable chair sits behind a small desk covered in papers and half finished books.
The Master Bedroom The master bedroom has navy blue and golden floral patterned walls and is certainly the most sumptuous bedroom. The bed is covered with a canopy of bright blue silk and the bed coverings and made of velvet and embroidered with gold to match the seats. There is a large mirrored wardrobe edged in gold, next to it is a door leading off to Sir Danton's dressing room and a door to his mistress' bedroom.
