How many people can land support?

your basing your survival on a BBC fiction series? the original series was bad enough but the updated series with all its pc rubbish was laughable.
the reason a lot of these big houses were given over to the National Trust is because they were so expensive to run and maintain, and they are rambling and large and most do not have central heating or wells, once the power goes off they are cold, dark and dry.
