Possibly Knole, in Sevenoaks. The house itself covers about four acres, including its seven courtyards; it has about 3½ acres of roof. It has about 365 rooms and 52 staircases. It's very difficult to define size though; some people say Blenheim Palace is larger, because its shape makes it seem to 'capture' more space. But it probably has less space inside than Knole, and certainly has less roof.

There are indeed many different styles of couches. These includes: Lawson, Chippendale, Tuxedo, Slipper, Bridgewater, Chesterfield, Sectional, Knole, Setee.

Lady Elinor Fettiplace of Appleton in Berkshire (Oxfordshire) and Lady Rachel Fane of Knole Kent both created confections recognized as meringues under different names, white biskit bread and pets, respectively.
