What wonderful memories these bring back.
This is gorgeous photography that makes me long to return!
I wonder how they looked today all covered in snow.

Very ornate...I think the upkeep would be intense on this style of house.

A modest dwelling in scope, but the decorations make it so special. A wonderful shot from this angle. "V"

The outside and interior of this house has been very well thought out and is presented so beautifully. The furniture and decor is very grand too. Nice house, Lynn.V

What a grand home. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.

What a beauty! I do love old houses and this one is magnificent. Love your shot. The price seems unbelievably low, even with the exchange figured in, compared to our inflated house prices here! V

certainly an interesting house, although something jars as regards colours, and the garden wall seems an ill fit...the snippet of history is welcome too..
