Internally the house has many examples of this, such as the detailed plasterwork to cornices and ceilings, deep skirting carved door surrounds, sash windows with working shutters, cantilevered stone staircase and the double bridal doors between the drawing and withdrawing rooms. The exceptionally spacious and versatile accommodation presents a subtle blend of Georgian elegance combined with modern day practical living and contemporary chic. Spread over five floors and offered in good decorative order throughout, the size of the light and airy rooms is accentuated by high ceilings particularly on the ground and first floors. There are currently four bedrooms occupying the second and third floors, the master bedroom of which having an en suite roll top free standing bath. There is also a separate family bathroom.
The principal reception rooms are situated on the ground and first floors with the impressive drawing room looking out over Raby Lawn towards Bath Abbey.
