Thank you all so much for your amazing ideas for new styles of homes to design!! I love ALL of them, they really got me excited to work on this series. The idea for this one is from @Mary_Rose ! Her suggestion for an English country house led me to two ideas - a classic manor, like this one, and also little country cottage, which will be next! Thank you all again for your suggestions, and feel free to keep them coming if you think of anything else. I’m also trying something a little new and giving eight names in the name bank instead of six, so let me know how you feel about the change!
As always, just pick the room you like best for each part of the house and then name each member of the family from the name banks you reveal. Feel free to add two middle names if you feel so inclined, it’s pretty common among the wealthy in England. And of course, add whatever backstories or details you’d like! Enjoy!
