Ah yes, there are the bathrooms, the bedrooms, and the unexplained attic room with the spike and rope.

An attic room with wood beams - in the middle of the room a spike of wood pokes up through the floor, and off to the side you can see a rope running across the floow

@weirdestate the "rope" is a pipe lagged with some sort of brown fibre material. No idea about the spike, though, perhaps someone made some haphazard structural modifications.

Given the age of the building, the pipe is a post-install hot water feed. The spike is likely a remnant king post that was partially removed during a roof rebuild.

Why that area is lit is something of a mystery.

It’s lit so that you can see when you go up there.

@rdm @weirdestate @synx508 You’d want the loft space well lit if you were using it for storage. Go blundering about up there with a torch in the dark and you might sit on that spike…

@weirdestate that's quite some house! With added suits of armour.

... And right next to Gatwick! I don't think so.
