Arts and Craft Room
Reflecting the Arts and Crafts movement, and other popular fashions of the period, the interior features carved oak panelling and, in the grand Staircase Hall, six Pre-Raphaelite paintings by Frederick Shields and a cosy inglenook fireplace.
Billiard Room
Baldwin Bantock included a Billiard Room in his plans for the major renovation work that took place in the early 1900s. By extending one of the bedrooms he created a cosy alcove where gentlemen might sit to discuss business and politics between games.
Dining Room
The Dining Room at Bantock House Museum still has original features and artwork displayed. As well as the solid oak table there is a picture of Scottish highland cattle that used to roam the grounds. As a tribute to these animals our regular visitors will know Haymish who sits to the front of the house.
Drawing Room
When Baldwin and Kitty Bantock lived in the house the Drawing Room was laid out much as it is today with a sofa placed centrally, facing the fireplace.
