Is the sleeping beauty the princess or the house?
Although its a shame that somewhere so beautiful has just been left. There's a couple of houses like that in the lovely's home village, gorgeous houses just abandoned because no-one wants to move in

So beautiful but a shame it has been abandoned.
You were just down the road from our friends - that area is like heaven with the door shut :o)
what a place to be able to take photographs!
Beautiful words too ...
What a pretty house! Too bad no one loves it. It would be beauitful all fixed up!
Oh Alice what a knack you have for spotting the beautiful and making it interesting.
I think I could fix up the place. Is there a church nearby that needs my husband's services? A wellness centre that needs mine??
It almost looks like the house at Green Knowe.
I'm back to remind myself what I wrote earlier, and hark! The word verification is "scones." Surely a Sign if ever there was one...
It's just crying out to be lovingly restored - but what a project it would be! Plus Ms Beauty would have to evacuate.
Wow what a wonderful place, I bet it is lovely inside, dust and cobwebs.

I hate to think how much it would cost to even start to fix that roof.
