The Great Interior Design Challenge 

The final is being filmed in Cambria next week in an exquisite Staley Home called Holme Eden Hall. Built in 1837 in the style of an early Tudor mansion for a family of cotton barons, The Dixons. It was designed by the greatest northern architect of the day, John Dobson, who was Responsible for the remodeling of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Holme Eden was designed as a 'calendar house' - one of only three surviving in the UK. The principle of the calendar house Is That the number of external doors, windows or panes of glass, chimneys, or staircases etc should total either 4 (the number seasons), 7 (days in a week), 12 (months in a year) , or 365 (days in a year), Holme Eden boasts 365 windows and 12 chimneys. Dobson used gilded ceilings, ornate woodwork and carved fireplaces in Holme Eden. The original building boasted a magistrate's room and 36 bed and dressing rooms. It also had stables in the basement with a tunnel running under the garden to allow carriages access to the central courtyard.
