Set 1 first appeared in The Midas Touch and was in use until Hostage. It had a living room, a large dining room with a mantlepiece, an entrance area.
Set 2 was there from Hostage and the set changed again following Dead Men are Dangerous. In the second set the large dining room had disappeared, instead of it there was now a second living room and there only was a small dining section, that Steed used once. The entrance area hadn't changed.
Set 3 was the most tasteful one. Finally, Steed had a large study, but there was no longer a dining room, and the second room (living area from the first set) was a living room with a Knole sofa (similar to the sofa from his 3rd flat) set. An entrance hall existed on all three of the sets, but it looked different in the third flat.
