I think for you, just pick a time when some of the stuff he knows well has been moved (where he sleeps, if it is a mat or a specific chair) and when you have some free time, and then stay with him for a bit.

This is definitely the way to go. Don't scare your cat by showing him the whole house at once. At first just a room, one where he'll be comfortable, then another few rooms then the whole house.
I wouldn't just let him wonder around or he'll likely be so overwhelmed by the experience that the house will never be comfortable.
