A roaring fire in a small black Jotul wood-stove, surrounded by a herringbone brick firebox and classic dark-oak Tudor fireplace with large paneled mantel and corbels. Above the mantel hangs a small moody, nighttime oil painting of Broughton Castle in England, while twisted ivory taper candles in brass candlesticks sit on the mantel along with other larger candles.

A fairytale stone and half-timbered Tudor home that looks plucked out of the Cotswolds, covered in crisp white untouched snow and surrounded by barren winter trees and pale blue morning skies with wispy clouds. Looks like a scene out of Narnia.
