If there wasn't a 2 foot wall between my bedroom and my parent's (which is two floors high) I probably wouldn't sleep much  .
It also means that each "section" is build at a slightly different level than the ones before (which also varies per floor) so there are a lot of 1 to 4 step stairs in the house. |
Your home sounds old and big enough to have secret passages. If it were mine, I'd make some out of all that excess wall space. Then I'd hang some portraits in the main rooms with the eyes cut out for viewing while sneaking around in the hidden corridors.
