By Eifion Rees PUBLISHED: 17:00 EST, 8 December 2012 | UPDATED: 13:59 EST, 10 December 2012 Multi-generational households are becoming increasingly popular in Britain, with almost 36 million over-18s having lived in a house containing two or three generations of adults, according to a recent report by insurance company Aviva. But the Harland family has gone one step further. They are one of the few four-generational – or 4G – households in the country. Mike Harland and his wife Cathy live in The Malt House, a seven-bedroom property in Crookham, outside Newbury in Berkshire, with Cathy’s mother, Ann Hayman, Mike’s son Dominic and wife Marina, and her son Michael, 12, and Dominic’s two sons, Timothy, 14, and William, eight.
