40-metre-high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three
architectural prizes.

in!”
“There are 142 steps to the top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it’s very good exercise! But having
to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart
from that, it’s a brilliant place to live.”
“When we first saw the place, I asked my father’s advice about buying it, because we couldn’t decide. After
paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted to it look.”
“Living here can be difficult-yesterday I climbed a four-metre ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand

moved.”
