Possible Location - Pictures from Mel's House

We chose not to use my house to film in but I thought I would post pictures up of my house and explain why:

The front of my house would have been ok, as although the door doesn't have glass in it, there are windows on either side. The stairs are in the middle, with the kitchen on our right. This would have looked quite good. However, there is a bit too much space, and it would be difficult to light, as putting all the lights in the hallway on would make it too bright but without it would be too dark.
The kitchen is a bit too bright to do the lighting we want. Also the table is too rustic to be able to be made up elegantly. Also two of the cupboard doors under the sink are damaged (there's a picture of them above) which would look really bad if we saw them in shot.
Another problem that we would have had filming at my house is that my house isn't on a street. There are gates and a long gravel drive which the guy would have to walk through and across.

Basically, I think that Alice's house and area would be a lot better to film in and would match our sequence a lot better as well, and plus she has loads of random clocks, lamps etc that would look really good in the sequence.
