Hi Hannah,
you whould love my Family house it was a old mill that my Grandfather made a living in upto 1953 now it just has a nice stream and the wheal doesent do anything Dad keeps on trying to convert it to a power source.
So a lovely 17th centry wood building sourounded by woods so how you are thinking of the UK. Here in Bexhill it's a small town were on top of a hill looking down on a bay so lovely views and a nice big garden with a fishpond veg patch and far to much to weed and cut the dang grass.
