    They say it is twice as wide as Buckingham Palace, with over 5 miles of corridors!

    It also needs a lot of work doing to it.

    Would probably need in the region of another £40m - £50m to get it back to something like it's original splendour.

    an estimated 350 rooms - the house is so big that no-one knows the exact number.

    Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to count them if you wanted to know.

    I've always found it amazing that Britain's largest stately home, and bloody impressive at that, is hardly known outside the region.
    It has enormous grounds and with some investment could be as big as Chatsworth in terms of pulling power.

    My Grandmother always said it had the same number of rooms as days in the year, viz. 365.

    The most shocking thing in that article is that a 1 bed property in Knightsbridge goes for £8m. Really?

    Parts of London may as well be on another planet.
