Shooting at the stealth house

We shot this week at this beautiful listed building in Stanmore.
It felt like a boat inside and was on stilts over a lake at the back, it was really my cup of cha. I spent time talking to the owner, who was actually going to knock it down 12 Years ago
and rebuid it, it got listed, and he cant change a thing, he's now trying to renovate the bottom floor...
Anyway, I was jealous, it was beautifully hand built in a scruffy kinda way, but felt cosy and had lots of nice features. He built the stairs using his own design to save space and money, very simple but effective little ideas all over the house, and who doesn't like a home where every switch has a sticker telling you what it was for...
