*Sigh* The story is not showing up, but the pictures are wonderful to see. I particularly like the garden and the attic room. And it is amazing to find how 'updated' the downstairs looks, but maybe that is just from the furnishings.

I don't understand the description of it having a slate and thatch roof, though. Do you suppose that there is a full slate roof under there? If so, I would wonder if the thatch was more of an external insulation.
