Chatsworth has 126 rooms, with nearly 100 of them closed to visitors. The house is well adapted to allow the family to live privately in their apartments while the house is open to the public. [[Deborah Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire|Deborah, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire]], described the family rooms in detail in her book ''Chatsworth: The House''. She lived at [[Edensor]] until her death in 2014; the present (12th) Duke and Duchess live at Chatsworth. The family occupies rooms on the ground and first floors of the south front, all three floors of the west front, and the upper two floors of the north front. Staircases in the north-east corner of the main block and in a turret in the east front enable them to move about without crossing the public route.
