Summary

Pathe synopsis: In thickly wooded Virginia Water, Surrey, is a delightful modern house which completely harmonises with its setting; it is the brainchild of an imaginative architect and includes such novel features as an area of the sitting room sunk 12 inches below normal - with cushions round the edge, in place of chairs, and a fish pool half inside, half outside the house. There are even cutaways in the roof to let trees grow through!
