I think solid wood doors down a shadowy corridor, fireplaces, timber floorboards… but I can’t think of much else. I guess it really depends on the person and what they find grand. For example when i think of grand old houses i don’t think of marble.
high ceilings, is another and big windows with expansive landscape views =P
I think of grand houses as having big windows, pillars supporting the second floor porch, which is closed in by French fencing. No stucco or exposed brick, it has to be painted wooden slats on the exterior. Chandeliers, expansive rooms filled with almost nothing, and a well manicured aura. Mind you, I would hate to live in a house like this. Give me the log cabin out in the woods any day.
