Room
This is the room that makes the address make sense, and the reason is the width of the opening. The doors run the whole side of the room, so from the bed the frame is water, far shore and hills, with nothing in the way. Against the garden room, what you are choosing between is a hedge and a lake.
Otherwise it is the house standard and the standard is high: pale blue-grey panelling, a carved gilt cartouche beside the bed, a row of miniatures on the wall, a sofa at the foot of the bed and terracotta parquet underfoot. Two guests and a child. The Aravallis go pink about half an hour before the birds come back in.
A child is 12 or under.
For a child sharing with two adults.
