The bedroom has a separate dressing room area that extends as a hidden recessbehind the sitting room angle,and there is a set-back area for the bed. There is old wallpaper and paper lithographed floors to simulate parquet flooring. The sitting room is furnished with a painted green ensemble comprising sofa,bookcase,table,2 chairs,pedestal,fernery and large hanging clock with pendulum. Two hanging deer heads (of soft metal or card stock) hang on the walls along with a walnut gun rack and matching newspaper holder.
