    Not too bad a pad but I couldn't see a veggie plot :scratch:

    You would need a lot of bathrooms. Apart from obviously having lots of visitors you are likely to get caught short just walking from one part of the house to another.

    I don't think I would buy it as the grounds are too simply laid out and Oscar wouldn't like it.

    If I had a big house I would put the garden right in the middle so it is protected from the winds, and I can enjoy it everytime I look from the window -very much like gardens in Pompeii-

      I fancy a Roman-style atrium arrangement so that you have a nice plant-filled courtyard in the middle of the house. Mind you, I think you'd need Italian weather to enjoy it. Unless you covered it with glass. Hmmm ...
