The article prescribed is about the 63-year-old teacher and journalist, Lucy Kellaway, a cariculate Londoner, leaving her hometown. Lucy Kellaway had lived her whole life in London. That was until she fell in love with a medieval style home in a suburb of Newcastle. Lucy had always been involved with property love affairs, but her staple used to be modern houses.
However, as she was scrolling through pictures of historic houses, one house in particular caught her awareness. A beautiful house, decorated with green wallpaper, a giant chandelier, a baroque staircase, and a garden with stone balustrade. She asked her partner that they go and have a look. And so, they did.
She loved it, but she felt unsure if she was able to leave London, the city in which she grew up. “Once a Londoner, always a Londoner”, she thought to herself. She started making pros and cons of moving to Newcastle. The one thing she kept thinking about, holding her back the most was if she could really leave London. She reassured herself with the thought that it was only 3 hours away by train.
The house was built as a former bishop’s palace by Lord Crewe. He had displeased Queen Anne so many times with the building plans that she eventually removed his title “Prince Bishop” from his name.
