Inside The Incredibly Lavish Lives Of Rose Hanbury's Children

Don’t be fooled by the fact that they have bedrooms in their own separate cupolas: the Cholmondeley twins are still just kids — and that means even a home full of precious artifacts isn’t safe from boisterous playtime. Quite the contrary, in her sit-down with The English Home, Rose Hanbury joked that her sons had quite the penchant for roller skating and skateboarding inside the house. 

Speaking of the palatial home’s entrance hall, she revealed, “The boys also love the main arcade … and use it as a skateboarding and roller skating arena.” On top of being a big space, she added that there was another perk for the kids. “It has columns to weave between and they get up quite a speed,” she shared. Hats off to Hanbury for taking that so well!

Perhaps it’s not all that surprising that Hanbury was fine with her children zipping across the historical hall, though. After all, even though her husband told Financial Times that he had very formal experiences growing up, she told the outlet that it had always felt very much like a family home, albeit a rather regal one. Speaking of the vibes she got when she and David Rocksavage first moved in, she told the outlet, “The house never felt spooky — you could sense that it has been well lived-in and loved.”
