   That’s really cosy, and it looks as if the ceiling is much higher than we first think … would love to see more of this room if that were possible.

     Margaret, you can find more photos of the room (and the rest of the property) here.

   Sunlight, shelves and shelves of books, and a comfy sofa – I feel like I could spend a week in that room and still not be ready to leave.

   I agree! Gorgeous light, and I’d love to work at the desk. I also agree with Margaret, at the top right you can see a sliver of yet another shelf (too high for me!).

   I think an easel would be competing with the couch and reading in this wonderful room.

    Bliss. I love the way it manages to be both light and book-filled.
