As you've no doubt realised from the dimensions, this is an irregular shaped room - in fact, there are 5 or 6 different walls. However, it's a reasonably large and very useful room, with enough space (in our case) for an upright piano at one end, a large, oak sideboard at the other, and a dining room table, seating 8-10 in the main part. Obviously this room did not form a part of the original Georgian house, and we understand that the previous owners had this completely rebuilt in the mid-1990's. The longest wall is what must have been the original exterior wall of the house, where the doors into the kitchen and into the secondary hallway lie. On the other side of the sunroom from the kitchen lie doors up a couple of steps into the playroom/office and utility/wc rooms, and also double french doors with coloured lights into the courtyard garden. The sunroom has a pitched glass roof and plain tiled floor. It also has, believe it or not, a range of downpipes which one might be forgiven for expecting to see outside the house, rather than inside. However, this is clearly a product of building on in space that is limited by the proximity of the other houses, and we personally have not found this unconventional arrangement to have had any real impact on our experience of living in this house.
