The Lounge is at the back of the house, looking out onto the garden. It is about 16 feet by 12, plus the alcove to the double doors.
The house was built around 1908, designed by an Italian architect, still with some Italian touches - like the marble fireplace.
We opened up the double doors into the dining area, so you can now see from the kitchen/breakfast room, through the dining room, through the lounge into the garden - which was a real boon when the girls were young!
The master bedroom is above the lounge and it has a verandah outside it (another Italian touch).
From the verandah you can see across the Kennet river valley up towards the Savernake Forest.
