    Furnishings are all hired for the photos/viewings from one of those property dressing companies, because apparently many buyers can’t imagine furnished rooms. Typically you can opt to buy these as a job lot from the property dresser. The overall look is simultaneously tacky & bland but really not bad compared to most dressed places.

    Sheetrock in the fireplaces is likely because the refurbishment isn’t yet 100% completed per the text. The inserts are either still at the restorers or still being recreated to the original design.

    The restoration looks way too harsh in many areas, but if the house was in particularly bad shape before work began, it gets hard to fix damage and retain the softness of age whilst complying with building regs.

    Spotlights, however, are death. Whichever heritage officer they worked with should have forbade them that.
