We have been looking for a weekend retreat...........and I could have a sit on mower:rotfl::rotfl:


The south (Bedlam) wing contains various rooms in plainer character to the majority of the house, many of which have lost their original character having been significantly adapted for institutional use. With a name like Bedlam what sort of 'institution' was it:eek:

Mining in the area was a key source of income to help with running costs for the house's former owners.


Aha............probably relates to the subsidence problems..........kind of a weird karmic irony

In the 'music' room there appears to be two random squares of sound proofing on two walls ... I'm pretty sure you need to cover a bit more to make a difference.

There's three visible, comparable to the Albert Hall's polystyrene UFOs, rather than soundprofing, but they could also be passed off as modern art.

Continental it may be, according to the details, but you certainly can't stretch out in that bath - mind you, you can't get to the back garden from the kitchen except through the wrap-around conservatory. How does the dog cope?
