God only had one room in Heaven

The Stood Bedroom was a single story.

Standalone, a bedroom house, a house with only a bedroom, and four exterior walls and two windows halfway up or halfway down as formed by corners like sharp, right-angled bays, with curtains inside to match and pull in different directions from halfway across. Commonly called a Stood Bedroom.

Inside, it was indeed a bedroom with no sign of its doubling as a bedsit for the purpose of entertaining guests. Meanwhile, it was only guests who knew that there was a whole catacomb of rooms beneath this single bedroom, with stairs leading down to them, and thus such extra rooms were naturally below ground level.

Kitchen, bathroom, sitting-room, even a hall and a music room, but, of course, no sun lounge nor conservatory. Although there was a type of garden-shed at the end of the cellar area. Where tools were stowed. The walls were provided by the earth itself. So repair work was minimal. Even though parts of it were real mucky.

This Stood Bedroom stood close to a council housing-estate. The houses there were normal two-up-two-down ones that sat above ground level, back-to-back as in the old days. (The clearance lorries and demolition workers only seemed to do work in other towns and cities nearby.) This estate housing had single sash-windows in most walls, except where the walls had been subject to defenestration laws. The inhabitants do not count in this story. Their views not sought. Their ghosts never hunted. Such abodes never had ghosts anyway, not even cellar ones, as they had no cellars. Just lofts without ladders. And asbestos in their roofs.

A modern mansion proper stood on the brow of a hill overseeing it all, and it is easy to imagine envy of its status and of those within it, till it was discovered it was made from faulty concrete. Then laughter rang out, instead. And being modern, no need to mention that this mansion had not even the provenance of ghosts. 

The Stood Bedroom, meantime, was only understood by its guests below stairs they never climbed, for want of grounding.
