feel. How satisfying to live in a house that
has been brought back, not just to life, but
into a new era of existence. With the help of

craft of creating this unique home. There is
also enormous warmth and charm here – and
a touch of magical whimsy, which Tim and
Eve’s grandchildren will absorb and enjoy
