Its entrance (now on the Gun Terrace) and ground floor (now the Treatment Rooms) together with the principal rooms on the first floor, faced the magnificent westerly view over the Gipping Valley. The Drawing room and Ante-room (now the Television Room) display decorated ceilings enriched with gilding and classical corner roundels in the full Adam style.
