Lord Roskill said:
‘As long as a building of mixed use can reasonably be called a house, it is within the statutory meaning of ‘house’ even though it may reasonably be called something else ... [I]f the building is designed or adapted for living in , ... only exceptional circumstances ... would justify a judge holding that it could not reasonably be called a house. They would have to be such that nobody could reasonably call the building a house.’
