So beautiful and I love how you can experience different periods of the history of the house. Imagine if walls could talk.

I visited Avebury Manor before it was sold, it was actually a pleasant old house, although I suppose nothing special. But nothing wrong with it at all, full of old furniture and with an air of antiquity. This looks more interesting but is it more "authentic"? I don't know...
