Description

The large country manor, once well taken care of, has become a little overgrown and in need of a little TLC on the outside; ivy needing trimming, windows needing re-caulking, paint and plaster needing scraping and renewing. The flower beds are overgrown for the most part, old topiaries loosing their shape.

The age of the house may be seen when one crosses the threshold into the large foyer. From the floor to the walls, the same stone that makes up the outside of the house, has been layered and joined to form the inner expanses of the house. Rough wooden beams, both up near the ceiling, or wedged into the walls, are dark with age. Smoothed by the years and tread of feet are the larger stones joined for the floor, while those of the walls are sometimes hidden by the pictures or tapestries that are hung upon them. There are a couple of side tables that hold artwork or vases of flowers from the gardens, and even a few benches found here, places where visitors or couriers can wait.

Doorways to either side lead to many of the public family rooms with the salon and dining hall found to the left, while the large study and library along with smaller offices are on the right. Thick wooden doors set into arched openings are often left open, unless privacy is wished by those within.

At the far end of the foyer rises the stairs that lead up to a second floor balcony that overlooks the foyer itself. With trailing vines and hidden animals, and thick newel posts topped by heavy balls of brass, the banisters are true works of art, rubbed smooth by the hands that have skimmed it's surface over the years.

Required Wealth: Well-To-Do. Type: '+help +realty' in game.
