The Foxden House is set in England, an estate with hundreds of acres, and 32 rooms. The gardens are English gardens, tall hedges, winding paths and the house sits upon a cliff overlooking the ocean. Many secrets, passages are hidden in the estate as well as through the gardens.

As you enter the Foxden house, you will see a long hall. Looking up you will see the staircase that is winding with golden swirled wall paper and a large chandelier. To your right you will see a large ballroom with a raised stage for poets to recite, or musicians to perform.

Looking to your right you will see a large dining room with a walnut table that stretches in length to seat forty people. The tables are set with candelabrums of the finest silver. Lanterns are on the wall illuminating a soft light. In the back of the room is an adjoined kitchen for the staff.

The library is a huge room with many leather couches. On the left wall, you will see many game trophies hung. The other three walls in the library are fully supplied with leather bound books. There is a huge circular table in the center where politicians gather and discuss the French Revolution. Many of the men gather in the library, for brandy and cigars. The romantic period was a beginning of artistic an artistic expression. Some women took men's names to write and in role-play you’d find them intermingling with the men in the library.

Looking out the dining room a wall of glass doors and a stone deck with a winding path takes you to the gardens. Neat trimmed hedgerows with narrow paths take you into the many different aspects of an English garden. Turning down the path to your left you will walk under a trellis, and a gate. Upon opening the gate you will see a magnificent rose garden.

The path to your right will take you down an extremely narrow path. You will find two hedges almost joined. Pushing them aside, you will see a waterfall. This waterfall runs clear and flying around it are magnificent birds. The birds you see are white pigeons and doves, which are only cared for by the lady of the estate.

To the right of this waterfall area you will see a heavy wooden door. Opening the door; a beauty known like no other takes your breath away. Fields and fields of poppies as far as you can see flutter delicately orange in color and shine in the sun. The fragile petals of these flowers are to represent the fragility of life. Leaving the gardens there is a worn path, which is somewhat overgrown.

This path leads you to the estate’s north side. There is a door in the estate home you may miss if not knowing it was there. When opening this door you will see a staircase, steep and narrow. Climbing this staircase you will hear silence and stairs that creak under your weight. A circular room is above and as you stand on the landing you will see the ocean and heart shaped lake. Sir Fredrick Churchton an artist of this time had committed suicide in. This room is the north tower where he spent hours painting, which was introduced into the Romantic Period’s change in art style.

Looking in the middle of the room you will see an easel with a painting sitting on it. The servants will not enter or clean this room, where Fredrick Curchton killed himself. The room has not been cleaned in years but there is no dust and touching the painting the paint is still wet. The bloodstains are still on the floor’s carpet.

Foxden house has 20 bedrooms all named after the color they are decorated in. Each room is requested by a guest and the servants ready it when asked. Joseph the butler is more than willing to show people around the Foxden House. The ballroom is below the winding staircase of the upstairs, and is decorated in white marble and crystal chandeliers. There is a stage and orchestra pit built and elevated to the front of the dance floor. Musical equipment is stored under wood lockers under the stage.
