The wing's the thing

Article Abstract:

The shortage of large detached houses in the countryside in the UK is fuelling interest in wings of extremely large properties. Living in a wing offers privacy and access to extensive grounds, along with the security of knowing that people are nearby if help is required. Wings are now becoming similar in price to the detached houses they resemble. It is important to be aware that there could be restrictions attached to living in a wing, such as use of courtyards.
