You can have people round and flood out here on a summer's evening, or pull out a rug and have a bottle of wine. It is great for children, too. Our son used to run over the back through the garden to play with the little girl who played Hermione in the Harry Potter films.

It is a fantastic house for entertaining because you can open up all the doors through the ground floor and spill out into the garden. We have had parties here for 300. I always like houses that are bigger on the inside than they look from the outside. It is like something out of a story by C S Lewis.
