It can. We mount above or below the rail depending on the wall you have, and in most village rooms there is enough clear space above the window casing to work with. Where there is not, a ceiling-mounted track avoids the wall entirely and reads cleanly in an older room. The rail itself stays untouched either way.

A stationary side panel at each end, hung so the fabric never actually crosses the glass. The blind carries on doing the light control and the panels soften the hard edge of the opening. It also leaves the casing in view, which is usually the whole point in a house like this. Panels like these use less fabric than a working pair.

Flat fabric should measure roughly double the width of the opening, and a bit more than that for full pleats. Anything less hangs flat and looks like a bedsheet on a rod. On a narrow village window that usually works out to one and a half widths per panel, joined at the seam so the pattern still runs true.

Rarely. Motors earn their place on a window you cannot reach or a run too heavy to pull by hand, and most village windows are neither. Where it does make sense is a tall front room with long lined panels. A battery track motor goes in without wiring, which matters when the alternative is opening a plaster wall.
