Located off a 'narrow lane,' the entrance to the grounds of the Manor is grand indeed. A high, manicured yew hedge borders the driveway on both sides. The driveway is perfectly straight, running through wrought-iron gates and straight up to the front door. Though we never see the rest of the grounds, there are hints of an expansive landscape: the garden has a fountain and albino peacocks roam the lawns.

Inside the house is no different...'sumptuously decorated, with a magnificent carpet' and 'ornate,' 'gilded' furnishings. There is a large entrance hall with a door that leads directly into the drawing room. Off of this room, a dark passageway leads to a steep staircase and a cellar.
