Named Nord House and made up of three bedrooms, a bathroom and an open-plan living space, it combines a sleek . . .
Six stylish advent calendar ideas
Advent calendars are one of my favourite festive traditions, and even as an adult I love the excitement of counting down the days until Christmas.

If you're planning to do the same, here are a few ideas from around the web . . .
