I suppose for every day ablutions you need the modernity !! A television and computer are a must, also and would look out of place in the other setting. Or perhaps the owner doesn't really like living amongst it, either.

I think they should open their house up to the public as it would be hard living two lives...

Not for me either. Too dark and depressing.

It looks like the pages of an Ikea brochure from the eighteenth century.....

Re: What Lies Behind the Facade? Incredible!!

I think you've put your finger on it. It feels more like an overcrowded film set, great to look at but you wouldn't want to live there.

Actually, scrub the great, I'm not sure what word would best describe it.

I like bits of it, the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. It's no different than what the landed gentry live in here but, a shame they didn't make the outside Elizabethan looking .
