Outdoor heated swimming pool - and no bills / upkeep ( magic fairies did this - my parents )
acres of garden to roam around . Lots of trees to lie under in the summer .

Heating

DelphiniumBlue · 19/02/2023 00:09

A lovely open sky view from my bedroom even though it was in London, and night storage heaters that we used to sit on ! And an electric wall heater in the bathroom that you could turn on about 10 minutes before having a bath so that it was warm in the room, but not have to heat up the entire house.

Window seats.
