Do the books come with the library? I might have to consider that, she says as she looks forlornly at her losing lottery ticket.

I would get lost in that much space. Given my inability to walk more than 30 metres at a time it would probably take me three days to get to bed. How much, I wonder, would it cost to heat and/or keep clean. I was a little disappointed with the orangery, very few plants at all.

I started to read the article you linked to but my frustration with all the 'question marks as punctuation' made me close it.

But, oh, all those books and cosy places in which to read them!

I actually really hate some of the modern updated rooms, especially the kitchen. It looks so generic in that classic house. Not that it matters, since I couldn't afford to buy the draperies!
