This was once the ballroom of a mansion Somerset, England, and its dissection into a four-bed home has left the drama of its dimensions undiminished.

The open-plan living floor is topped by an elaborately moulded glass ceiling worthy of a Victorian railway terminus;

lavishly proportioned windows light the orangery,
It’s a fascinating piece of property and is a good example of a well-done conversion of a historic building. 
I wish I could buy it for you, so you could save it from that awful cabinetry.
ReplyDeleteMeg I adore the study and library.

Oh to have an orangery! Or, in my case, a limery!
ReplyDeleteI love the house (especially that tower-y looking thing toward the back), but that plexiglass (glass?) wall around the loft to the study HAS to go. Ew! It takes away the homey feel and makes it look like an exhibit in a museum or something. Also, how could one relax with a good book in the plush study chair knowing that people can stand right above you and read over your shoulder?
ReplyDeleteJust love to read your blogs. They are fun, interesting and informative. I look forward to reading them. The home pictured today is lovely. I am afraid that I am out of pocket cash today. Please tell me where the name Pigtown came from.
ReplyDeleteAnn... Pigtown is the neighbourhood where i live in baltimore. they used to run the pigs from the big train depot down the main road to the slaughterhouses, and allegedly, people would grab them when they went by!
ReplyDeleteI think I have this in my piggy bank. :)
