Front Entrance A walk leads from the street to a battered, black-painted door with a silver knocker in the shape of a twisted serpent; there are neither keyhole nor letterbox. The exterior of the house is dirty and unkempt. The windows are grimy.

The Basement The basement floor is a kitchen with rough-hewn walls, a large fireplace, and a large table with lots of chairs. There is a dresser where utensils and plates are kept. Up the steps is the main floor. A small pantry is connected to the kitchen. In a cupboard there is a water tank and beneath this is Kreacher's den, a filthy niche filled with moldy blankets and bits of family heirlooms Kreacher managed to scavenge as Sirius cleaned the house.

Ground Floor The entrance hall is a large room with peeling wallpaper, threadbare carpet, gas lamps, and a serpent-shaped, cobwebby candleabra. A staircase runs to the upper floors. There are a number of age-blackened portaits here, including a large one behind moth-eaten moldy curtains. This portrait is of Mrs. Black, and when disturbed it screeches and screams in a most horrible manner, cursing everyone around and waking the other portraits, who also begin screaming. Not surprisingly, everyone tiptoes and whispers in the hall. There is an umbrella stand in the hall made from a troll leg.

Upstairs The number of floors in the house is unknown, but it's probably no more than four or five. On the first floor is the drawing room; Hermione and Ginny's bedroom was also located on this floor. Harry and Ron slept in a dark, high-ceilinged second floor room with a wardrobe in it and portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black on the wall. Fred and George slept directly above them on the third floor. Buckbeak stayed in the upstairs bedroom which once belonged to Mrs. Black. In an upstairs toilet, a rather murderous ghoul was lurking.

Drawing Room The curtains of the drawing room were infested with Doxies and the writing desk had a Boggart in it. A nest of dead Puffskeins was found in the sofa. A tapestry hangs on the wall showing the Black family tree. There are dirty, glass-fronted cabinets on either side of the mantelpiece that contained a variety of sinister and Dark Magic items which didn't seem to want to leave their shelves.
