Once inside, the entrance hall leads into the “chairman’s turret”, Which has an original wide, carpeted, stone staircase that was designed for taking people to the Roman Baths in a sedan chair straight from their rooms. If someone in the house was ill they would be wrapped in warm towels and a sedan chair would arrive at their bedroom ready to whisk them off for some spa treatment! The entrance hall has now been fully restored and renovated and presents a warm and welcoming aspect to visitors on arrival.
The main dining room
This tastefully decorated dining room has two dining tables with seating for twelve, period chandeliers and a exquisite Regency fireplace. This is the perfect setting for a romantic supper or for a more formal dinner party.
For guests overcome by an excess of emotion or fine fare, there is a secret entrance to a shower/toilet room behind a hidden door!
The main kitchen
This long and well-lit kitchen was the centre of activity for cooks employed in the past. It offers an excellent outlook over the period properties surrounding the Admiral's House and will make your dinner party preparation a pleasure.
The kitchen is tastefully decorated and fitted throughout with solid beech work tops and a refurbished oak floor. The working Aga contributes an authentically country house note to the kitchen, which also has a dishwasher, fridge freezer and cutlery and tableware settings for 14.
Back bedroom - The Forum
This twin-bedded room has a cosy, tranquil ambience. It is tastefully furnished and close to the main kitchen if you get those midnight munchies!
