It’s soulless because clearly no one is living it.
Usually I prefer period homes but I actually think this is a great house, the only room that I wouldn’t get much use of is the salon but all the other rooms are a great size/layout/position - it flows nicely and is what I would expect/want in a house of that size.
im not a fan of the balustrades on the stairs and I’d likely change the bar area but thats easily changed
