Here's an attractive rural residence.
One point for each question:
1. What's the name of the house?
2. What's its location?
3. Name at least two significant historical events that took place there.

Hint # 1: Near the house, the owner had a footpath constructed, complete with a "Light Side" and a "Dark Side."
The footpath. |

Edit:
Yep, I truly suck at this.
Ah well. I've really got to figure out how to play this damned game. |

1. Down House
2. Kent, UK
3. a>The writing of "the origin of species..."
b>Charles Darwin rented it. (both historic enough for me, anyway)

The correct answer, the correct answer, and a partially-correct answer. Two and a half points, Hawks, congrats!
For the two historical events, I was thinking of the writing of Origin, and Darwins death, though some other answers might have been acceptable.
Also, I believe Darwin bought Down House in 1842. I'll accept the first half of answer three, and close this problem to further points.
The standings:- Hal, 16 points
- Hawks, 5.5 points
- lorddix, 4 points
- Randy, 3 points
- bngbuck, 2 points
- Simon, 2 points
- steinhenge, 2 points
- Dave W., 1 point
(Ties are listed in alphabetical order.)
