Foyer

The entrance hall or the foyer of a house tells us a lot about the property. This is often one of the original rooms of the house and dates back to its construction.

Don't forget to mouse for hot spots to investigate.

Often every day items such as light switches give the best clues to the age of a property...if they're original.
