USA, Georgia
Just south of Atlanta, this is an Antebellum house (antebellum means before the war in Latin and refers to southern US houses built before the American Civil War in 1861). Period features include wooden panels, huge fireplaces, tall windows and timber stairs that wind up a large hall. Doorways are wide enough to let the ground-floor rooms run into each other creating an almost open-plan setting. There are five bedrooms in all and two bathrooms plus a kitchen. It all needs a clear-out and an update. The closest city is McDonough.
