It's not always very convenient! Most of the rooms in the old parts of the house are quite small, very low ceilinged and, in the half-timbered bit, very draughty (despite huge amounts of building work trying to plug all the holes). Luckily the kitchen is in the modern part and is large, so that is quite convenient. I do like having a large kitchen, not particularly to cook in but as a social room.

We are moving either this year or early next year, having already bought our next house. Not looking forward to all the hassle of the move one little bit.
