This big room feels more cozy because the larger space is divided into smaller areas by the scale and placement of the fireplace.

Once a bustling hub on England's southeast coast, the medieval port town of Ravenser Odd now lies hidden beneath the waves. This fascinating town, thriving in the 13th and 14th centuries, faced the relentless forces of nature - ultimately disappearing into the depths of history.
Located near today's Spurn Head in East Riding of Yorkshire, Ravenser Odd's story is one of prosperity, strategic importance, and sudden decline. Founded by the Counts of Aumale, possibly Ferdinand II of Castille or his son, John of Ponthieu, this port rapidly rose to prominence, outshining even Kingston upon Hull at its peak!
But coastal erosion and the shifting Humber River spelled its doom. The final blow came with the devastating Saint Marcellus Flood in 1362, erasing Ravenser Odd from the map.
Now, centuries later, scientists led by Professor Dan Parsons from the University of Hull are on a mission to rediscover this lost town. Using advanced echosounder technology, they hope to reveal the secrets lying 500 meters off Spurn Point.

Unusual long row of identical late Victorian era terrace houses, with the lower floor sunk below street level. Most likely built as rental housing in the mid-1880's. Nothing much has changed. Chippendale.
