The carpet is a dull, dark spring green covered in a flowered pattern. There is an off white fire place over which hangs a painting by Helizabel's father. There are a couple of white high backed chairs around a coffee table and several elegant but spindly dark oak chairs in the corner.
The study The study is Edward's refuge, here he can read in peace and watch his daughter dance and play in the garden. The walls are a pale grey with dull teal green velvet curtains. There are a lot of comfortable, mis-matching chairs and sadly only five pine floor to ceiling book cases, crammed full of Edward's books, only the ones he could bring with him to England. There are a lot of small, spindly tables on which stand family heirlooms and vases filled with flowers from the garden picked by Helizabel.
The Garden The garden is long and narrow, surrounded by a high red brick wall, mellowed by the sun. It is covered in climbing roses, jasmine and sweet peas. The garden is full of blossom and fruit trees, and a swing hangs from a peach tree. The flower beds are over flowing with bright and beautiful flowers and the iron wrought garden gate is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis.
Edward Valhurst's Bedroom Edward's room is on the top floor, at the front of the house, over looking the noisy bustle of the most fashionable street to live in, in Bath. The walls are a pale gold with a dark green and amber leaf border. The curtains are a dull apricot velvet and the carpet is a pale mint green, diamond patterned, of which Helizabel does not approve. A four poster bed dominates the room with medium golden silk drapes, dark amber velvet coverings and cushions which match to the coverings on two chairs which are placed at the end of the bed, opposite a small round table. A matching velvet sofa sits by the window and there is a dark ebony fireplace over which hangs another portrait of Helizabel's mother.

Next to the bed is a large chest for her clothes, on it is a china jug and silver basin and a candle in a holder and another vase of flowers. A four poster bed dominates the room, it has pale peach satin coverings, to match the pale gold, amber, rose and peach curtains and cushions that cover it.
