Paxton House welcomes visitors who are wheelchair users, with dedicated parking bays close to the Reception. However, bearing in mind that Paxton House was built in the 18th Century, access is only available to the main floor via a passenger lift for wheelchair users.

The main floor contains the principle rooms - the entrance hall, morning room, dining room, drawing room, bust room, library and picture gallery. The Hayloft Gallery - exhibition area is also available via a passenger lift. The 18th century kitchen, the Ellem Fishing Club Exhibition, Stables Tearoom, gift shop, toilets and waiting room are all on the ground floor.
