Worthy of Hogworts, Owlpen, a small 5 roomed house in Gloucestershire; (more upstairs I think but we didn't see them.)
 |
As described to us, the main road used to run across at the front of the house to the gate on the far right.
Yew hedges on the right have been removed to provide the perfect Cotswold view. |
But when the small ancient house was rejected by the Victorian in 1840's in favour of comfort...
The old house had the last laugh. The new is demolished, the old restored by... a builder.
 |
| The modern house... now no more. designed by SS Teulon, the architect who designed Holy Trinity Church Leicester. |
 |
| I am curious where there might be enough flat land to build such a large house. |
