- Watch this video to see the Different types of Cottages. Hi Guys! This video is all about English cottages & Cottage Architecture!
Over the past 2 years, with the surge in cottagecore search terms and interest sky-rocketing, it’s pretty clear that a lot of us like a chocolate box cottage, thatched cottages, cottage style (or more specifically English cottage style)- so I thought it would be a fun idea to do a definitive guide to English cottages , so to speak, where I give you an architectural guide on the subject. Without naming names, I see lots of people online confuse viewers about what an English cottage is, and actually give false info on English architecture history lol. And because of that, I just wanted to clear a few things up, start a series on architecture styles explained and list all the kinds of Fairytale cottage found here in the UK and give you guys MY architectural study on a cottage tour.
So if you're interested in the history of cottages & architecture history… let's go!

I would absolutely LOVE to hear what you guys thought of the video! 💬
We have a style of cottages that you didn't mention, it's called Storybook and it was popular in the 20's and 30's. It's was mixture of several revival movements with a leaning towards fictional storybook homes. There are some really interesting houses in this style.
I do like the cottage 1:26, dead center on the top row, one floor.
Thank you. I'm French, I'm renovating a farmhouse in Brittany, I've been to the Cotswolds and the Yorkshire Dales for inspiration last year. Going to mix these styles. My house is going to be true to Brittany but with English features like an Aga, flagstone floors and even one or two sash windows. England is a land of inspiration to me. Your sense of taste and style is unmatched.
I am French too, but lived in UK many years and the house that I bought in the Baie du Mt St Michel, is very English cottage style.
Look, the very fact that you’re using an English touch, shows how sophisticated you are..despite being French..
@@lisejacquelinerigault2575do u have instagram to show your house?
I’m English and live in the Cotswolds. I moved here because of its magical charm. I also love French architecture and often take inspiration from it. One of my favourite styles is Art Deco, which originated from France.
The slate floors are amazing!!
In California, there is a style of cottage called 'Story Book.' It originated with Hollywood set designers and featured Picturesque takes on French, German, and English country styles. Cozy nooks and decorative embellishments inside and out add continuous visual interest.
Is this the Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead village area? I grew up there and the village is an excellent example of what you're describing.
@@Bhpy7There are many examples in LA itself.
The Witch's House, also known as the Spadena House, in Beverly Hills, is an example of a house built in the storybook style.
is that the one in Clueless? love it
@@dantierandbalogh Yes, that's the one.
I live in a 600 year old English cottage with oak beam ceilings and walls. I absolutely love it and often imagine the history our home has seen.
Oh my.....❤
I'm sure your home has got many a story to tell💗 Sorry I've only just seen this dear x
In my country (South Africa) a "cottage" is always a small single story detached dwelling. I had no idea they could also be row houses, have two floors, or actually be quite large. Thanks for the beautiful pictures and education.
I think I like the Cotswold and Victorian cottages the most, but I like them all. This was very informative! Thank you!
Thanks for your comment Tim 🤗🤗
Clapboard cottages were typical of Essex, also the decorative plasterwork known as pargetting. This is found mainly in Essex and Suffolk - sometimes coloured pink with pigs blood!
The colours referred to are traditionally in East Anglia, especially Suffolk. The pink was achieved by mixing blood into lime wash, ochre came from mixing clay. Incidentally, Timbers are not blackened everywhere. It’s a practice most associated with Cheshire and later Arts and Crafts buildings. From the 1860s A&C architects went around the country sketching vernacular buildings to incorporate into their designs.
Although not a beer drinker, I could happily live in an oast house, with its characterful rounded tower and expansive attached open space. Also I prefer this type because I am a fiend for reuse and recycling. It breaks my heart to see so many large and beautiful old barns collapsing on their footings throughout the US countryside, when they could be repurposed into magnificent dwellings. I admire the UK emphasis on preservation.
Hi Gina! I've been lucky to go to an oast house, and they converted the tower into a lovely circular bedroom- it was very interesting and unique. My favourite Cottage is the Cotswolds Cottage style - in real life they truly do glow a gold tone ✨ I had no idea about that problem with barns in the US?!! that's so sad 😥😥 Here in the UK we are prone to 'adaptive reuse' projects, as so many older buildings are listed (meaning that it's illegal to tear them down lol). Which as you said is fantastic preservation but sometimes older buildings are extremely difficult to renovate physically 😅 For example thatched cottages here are SO expensive, as they are nearly impossible to get insurance on - due to them being fire hazards, low energy rating etc 🤣🤣
@ginacrusco234
HI Gina! Hope you're well! :) I will be doing a question and answer video soon- as a loyal commenter, would you like to ask us any interior design OR personal questions too? I am trying to make the Q&A have more of a chatty feel :) Let me know!
Your response touched me deeply. Sincerely, Danita (from MN)
Except you cannot just have every barn in the country turned into expensive barns. It would change the very nature of the countryside you presumably like. Plus it does nothing for the local rural housing crisis.
Barns make excellent shops, workshops etc which woUld produce local jobs
I have to disagree with you over the rarely seen thatched cottage. An awful lot of cottages were originally thatched , but due to the high maintenance costs were then tiles or slated. That’s why they are rare not because there were not many originally.
As an American I have traveled to Wales and the UK. I love The Dales, in Yorkshire. Your channel this morning was informative and I adore the history. You inspire me. Your a young lady and I'm much older than you. Continue to bring such beautiful information. I have renovated (7) seven homes. I am currently working on a farmhouse cottage in The Appalachian Mountains of the USA. It was built in 1960 with original interior and in desperate need of attention due to lack of care management. I'm excited to bring the home back to a healthy environment first which just has been completed and moved onward from there. Keep up your site information. It's lovely to watch and listen to.
I love the warm tones of the Cotswold cottages. Thanks for the explanation. I just happened to be redecorating our little home and I’m so happy I came upon your channel.
Oh hey there Deanna! Thank you so much for your comment🤗🙏 Best of luck with the redecorating 😁
Very interesting summary with good diagrams and some really lovely photos. ‘Cottage’ comes from Old English ‘cot’ which simply meant hut. Cotters, who occupied them, were estate employees owning no land of their own. Cottages usually came with sufficient land for the occupier to grow sufficient food for his family. That was part of the deal.
Black and white cottages were often originally red and white where animal blood was a component of the fluid painted on as a form of surface preservative. It also accounts for the popularity of pink as a traditional colour for daubed outer surfaces.
I no longer live in a cottage but in an apartment in a building we believe was originally completed around 1470. If they’d had mortgages in those days it would have been paid-off about the time Colombia’s sailed. Hence my interest in vernacular architecture.
I’m from the North Leicestershire, in the vale of Belvoir. The local stone here is ironstone, so all the cottages are a lovely shade of burnt orange, slightly warmer than the Cotswold cottages
Wow I didn't know that about Leicestershire! Thank you for that knowledge 🏠🤗☀️🌟
Although I reside in the Midwest USA I found a house built in 1910.. I gutted the house and was delighted to find it was made of walnut. My theme was relaxed English style with lots of browns tans and maroons. Antique furniture when it could be acquired. I planted wisteria around the home and this really gives it that cottage look. I wanted a thatched roof but firecodes made this impossible so when I reroofed the house I chose what I imagined a cottage roof to look like! Naturally I have gardens with fruits and flowers.....but with a relaxed feeling when one comes into the home. There is also a waterfall that came with the house that we enlarged. I have many muched loved items from tag and boot sales......if you look for your colour scheme you are on your way. Go for timeless items and splurge on good rugs. Go for quality on your furniture this will reek English style. Cheers.
A couple of builds (pun not intended) on your narrative. 1. Oast houses are also found with square cross section. Because the freshly harvested hops had to be in and drying in short order, the kilns were positioned near the hop gardens and may be found in large numbers in not just Kent and Sussex, but also on the Surrey and Hampshire borders and in the West Midlands. 2. Thatching of English cottages (as opposed to Scottish and Irish) come in three main styles: Norfolk reed (most durable), Devon reed (actually straw!) and long straw (least durable).
Hi from the UK, I worked as an architectural restorer (mainly timber), and the true definition of a cottage is a building with nothing between the upper windows and roof line, opposed to a house which will have some brick or stone between top of the window and roof. Many of the late Tudor and Elizabethan houses were built using reclaimed oak timbers from the many war ships of that time hence the often convex/concave timbers used. Interesting video, thanks for posting
Interesting, Paul, about the true definition of a cottage. So the windows and doors are tucked under the eave/roof? I've seen some like that in film depictions. Also the wonky timbers. I thought they were just natural tree cuttings, like the cruck members of a wall-gable end. I like the idea of "repurposing" the oak of war ships, an aspect that adds to the romantic character of these beautiful houses
@@davidheggi9866 Hi David, cottage windows (a generalisation) would be just below the timber wall plate, often nailed into it, though we often now mix the terms house and cottage, and yes I have worked in many old buildings where timbers have been reclaimed from some very strange sources!
Hi Paul, I realise this is slightly off topic and months later than your comment, but as an architectural technician grad from new zealand who's interested in your line of work, do you have any recommendations of good (academic/non-fiction) books on the design and construction of any of the cottage styles mentioned above? the older the better, though currently interested in the fishermans' cottages and the Yorkshire dales. cheers :)
My favourite has always been the half timbered cottages although they all have their charm. I first saw them in Germany and even had a holiday in one of these very wonky cottages. It was over 500 years old and of course nothing like that in Australia 🇦🇺 where I live. Outstanding.
I'm not English, and I love the way this woman speaks!
I have been to the UK about 15 times, usually renting a flat in London and day tripping out to the sites around the countryside. I fell in love with the thatched cottages. I wound up buying a large number of Lilliput cottages because I fell in love with them. Thank you for this video, I enjoyed it very much. Oh and I did fall in love with Bath and the Cotswold...Just lovely ...no wonder Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush call that place home.
I loved your video. I had no idea there were so many different types of cottages - fascinating. I've always wanted to end up in some sort of cottage at some point in my life. I was curious as to whether there are architectural differences in the look, room sizes or room layouts inside the various styles. Thank you for a beautiful video and for all the work involved in bringing these videos to us. Blessings - Judith, Michigan, U S A. 🎭🎵
Oh Judith there ARE definitely differences in room sizes😅 Not so much home decor though (usually cottage interiors are very similar)... But room sizes do differ. Victorian homes I would say have the most room. Coastal cottages the LEAST! 🏡🌊 I really appreciate your comment & acknowledge the work I put into these videos 🥺💓🙏
I love all of them. Where I live in the United States (Southern Missouri) many cottages are made with local stone in its natural form & not cut. My cousin's husband was born & grew up in Liverpool & he said this area of the country reminds him of Northern England.
Oh wow I didn't know that about Missouri! Thank you for that Jennifer 💓
Would you be interested in more architecture series like this?
Me too (also in SWO MO)! My dad was born in Essex ( Pinner) so I’m also interested in the English homes...
I’m from southeastern Missouri and up in some of the hills and down in some hollers there’s buildings that’s look like some of these. I’m assuming it might be due to the German influence in English architecture and the German settlements across Missouri.
Greetings from across the Pond.
Very well done. Good presentation. Seriously...I've watched several of your videos. I'm shocked that your channel has not grown enormously. Yes. I subscribed last year. I am retired and now living in a totally rural area in the Blue Ridge Mountains, since 2018, after purchasing a circa 1938 clapboard turned stucco, two story.
Bead board walls and ceilings. Heart pine floors. It's not possible to hammer a nail in these walls. Only an electric screwdriver will penetrate. Eventually I managed to hang all my many mirrors and old oil paintings. Whew! Petrified wood everywhere...makes a really dark moody backdrop for my countless books and curated collection of this and that. I guess my library décor just could not be contained in my actual library...because I love filling bookshelves and decorating with carefully stacked books and even specialty vintage magazines and periodicals in every room.
I named my home, "Moonbow Cottage". I didn't know about Dark Academia as an aesthetic... until I viewed your video on that style last week. I must have missed that vid when it first came out. I do hope that your channel grows. You deliver excellent material and content...with class and integrity. I appreciate that you aren't posing as a drama queen putting on a performance...
Well, it's off to read a good book now. With classical music of course. Best Regards, Darla, age 73.
You subscribed last year?! Thank you so much 💓 I completely love your home. It sounds very cozy! And Moonbow is an amazing name 🌜🌛 Thank you Darla I love your comment 🥰🥰🥰
Great video! Hard to pick a favorite. I adore all of them. Had the pleasure of traveling through the English countryside and seeing many in person, Thanks!
The English countryside truly is beautiful. Sometimes tourists only appreciate London 😅 Thank you for your kind words 🤗🙏
Many thanks for this delightful tour. The cottages are almost as beautiful as you, luv! I lived in England for 35 years (half my life), mostly in SW suburban London, married to an Englishwoman from Twickenham. We also lived in the East Midlands near Peterborough, and there's a huge swathe of limestone running through Northamptonshire, Rutland, part of Leicestershire, up across Lincolnshire and into Cambridgeshire. So the area has strong similarities to the Cotswolds. After my wife passed away, I bought a golden limestone, Victorian cottage in Rutland. That's still my favourite cottage style but it's difficult to choose. I had to sell it and move back to America (for medical reasons) but I wish I still lived in it.
Very interesting, thank you! I'm not from England, but I really like to watch "Escape to the country" because they show all the beautiful English cottages and I noticed that there are also Georgian houses, which are not in the video. Would be really interesting to hear about their history from you too
You are lucky in the UK that when modernizations for windows is done, I see much effort has been put into the aesthetic toward the historic structures they will fit to.
Here in the US, unless the owner is knowledgeable and goes out of their way to maintain the character of the original home, window replacements look fake, plastic, bulky and just plain unattractive. Where I live this is partly due to the horrific storms we endure every year (southeast region) but still…
Most window replacements look horrible in my opinion. I still have (and maintain myself) my original 1920’s (old by America’s standards!) window sashes and casings and I love them!
@Lindas5964 Many older properties in the UK are 'listed buildings' or are in 'conservation areas'. This means you are obligated to maintain the building in accordance with the original design and materials, which can be very expensive as the materials and skills to produce them are becoming increasingly rare.
Its such a challange to even FIND a replacement window that is historically sympathetic.
The absolute gall it takes to mention thatched roofs and not mention the Netherlands. Not only are thatched roofs commom here but even new houses are built with them (no seriously someome just a few roads over from me just built a new house with a new thatched roof). There's a whole bloody industry surrounding the thatching and upkeep of thatched roofs. We're literally right across the channel, don't forget about us and our thatched roofs!
Sorry! 😅
@@dantierandbalogh Forgiven, mostly because everyone else forgets about us and our lovely roofs too.
🏡 Great all round capture of heritage cottages D&B 👏
Thank you Maurice 🤗🙏
I have been fascinated by thatched cottages my whole life. I live in suburban Minneapolis Minnesota. I collected pics on Pinterest and even get the email newsletters from the Thatch Advice Centre in the UK. I do small watercolors on cards of thatched cottages for friends. I love all your images. Insurance is expensive for these buildings and the mortgages are not cheap. My mother was a Welsh immigrant and she loved them too. Cheerio! 🏴🇺🇸
When Vera came to Canadian TV, I fell in love with her cottage in the Yorkshire dales.
My own house is an old teacherage bungalow, 547 sq. ft. with no hallways, so it looks much bigger on the inside.

The lock keeper cottages along the Birmingham to Stratford-upon-Avon canal are unique amongst UK cottage architectural styles in being built with barrel roofs that are covered in pitch to make them watertight. They were built by the same builders who constructed bridges over the canal in an identical manner. I like them for this remarkable regional individuality.
What is a barrel roof, John?
What an absolutely wonderful video. I live in Texas but love all things British. This is such an informative dive into the different styles of architecture. I had no idea they could be categorized! We, too, can categorize different styles in the US and even state by state. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for teaching in such a warm and friendly way. New subscriber today!
Hi Cathy! Welcome to the channel! So sorry it took me so long to respond❤️ I would love to hear the different styles per US state (I don't know too much about it in all honesty) Do let me know! And thank you for such a kind comment, sending love from Scotland 🏴
America has an authentic Cotswold Cottage in Michigan. Henry Ford brought it here from the Cotswolds and had it painstakingly reassembled across the pond, and you inadvertently used it in your pictures of Cotswold cottages; which is true, just not in England. Great video…I learned a lot and you did a great job. Thank you! From America!!!
I lived 50 years in London and in mid nineties I bought two cottages. One in France and one in greater London. The French one is built in granite stone, and as I restored it entirely inside and outside, I tried to give it an English look in both. I bought loads second hand, and made it cosy and comfortable. The cottage in UK is very small. From the outside it has 2 windows up, two down and a wooden door in the middle with a small front garden. By it size it is very cottagey inside, but as it faces North, I keep it pastel. I think some places that you have shown look more like houses to me than cottages, especially the Victorian ones. Lovely program though. Thank you.
As a historical lover and a Interior Designer who learned about different historical styles thank you for sharing these with us ! I love the blue trimmed ones !
Thatched, of course! In fact, thatched Tudor!! I sure miss living in the west of Kent.... Very nice production here, thank you so very much!! (Now I'm all homesick again..❤)
I am interested in how big some of the cottages are. As part of the definition of cottage being a small structure, some of the examples look rather large. How big can a structure be and still be considered a cottage?
We stayed in a Wiltshire Long House once on a visit to the UK. It had an amazing, thick thatched roof and the most hospitable host and hostess. Large for a cottage but a cottage none the less. Thank you for a lovely walk through English cottages.
I had no idea there were so many different styles of cottage?!? 😃 all of them are really cool but my favorite is the Victorian style!😁❤️ Thank you for this video!
I’ve always loved Cotswold and the Yorkshire style of stone cottage. Your video has made me a fan of the red brick Victorians, though.
Thank you Tracy for your comment 🙏
This Monday past we rode through the Cotswolds and saw thatched cottages and the Cotswold cottages. The Cotswold area is enchanting. Much love from across the pond. I love your country. ❤
My friends, who were born and raised in London, and worked in music stores owned by the same person who caved in to rock and roll. They were sisters who never married and one worked in the rock store and the other worked in classical store across the street. When it came time to retire, these OAPs checked out the estate cottages in the North of England and the South of Scotland. They found a lovely little one on a working estate in the South of Scotland. Their cottage was called The North Gatehouse. Cute. When my friend, the younger sister, took the dog walking (who died the year before she did), she loved to visit her friend a 5 minute walk away on a beach. It was called the Laundry Cottage. I love the name but thought, with my luck, people would leave laundry for me to do! The North Gatehouse had a little backyard that opened onto a little wood that was also fun to walk in, esp during hotter days.
Instead of being stuck in a studio apt on the 12th floor, I would love to live in England/Scotland in a lovely little refurbished cottage on an estate. By the way, I have named my apt, The Little Shoebox.
Thank you for this lovely tour! (I loved all of them, but most seemed too large for me and had a second story, I can't climb stairs. The North Gatehouse was a single floor.)
I love the stone cottages of Yorkshire and the Cotswolds the most. Thank you for sharing these beautiful styles with us.
My favorite are the thatched cottages. Thank you that video, it was very interesting. I enjoyed it very much
Thank you for this lovely tour! I live in Israel where we have the most unimaginative, unadorned boxy buildings. These cottages are so homely and welcoming.
Will you do a video on the interiors of cottage style?
Love your channel❤
I have this one already: th-cam.com/video/3ItiOFfnzWI/w-d-xo.html
Let me know if you want something else too! 💖
I've been interested in this for like 20 years. Thank you!
a thatched é minha preferida, acho lindo demais! Que vídeo maravilhoso!
Hello from Greece. I am in love with English cottages! Thatched cottages, Cotswolds and Victorian are my favourite.
They all have their charm but by far the Cotswold cottage is my favorite and what I envision when I think of a cottage. Thank you for this beautiful lesson on the different English cottages!
I love them all! Thanks for this - it was very informative!
That was like a fun tour of UK cottage styles!
Fabulous information and truly well put together. Thank you very much!!!
I loved this video so ❤much! I lived in Norfolk for four years and was so happy to see a shot of the cottages in Lavenham, Suffolk. I love the pink thatched cottage 15:03. Great job and a big thumbs up! 🤗
I loved your video and the your thoughtful descriptions of the various English cottages. I had no idea there were so many styles. I couldn't choose a favorite. They were all beautiful. Thank you for putting this video together.
Thank you so much Susan☺️🏠 If you have any particular videos / topics you want me to cover, let me know! 🤗🙏
I have loved thge colorful cottage style since I was a small child. They are so beautiful when kept up!
I love cottage style thatched, but I also love the stone from the Yorkshire dales, great video
This was delightful, and informative. Thank you!
My favorites were the Cotswolds and the Thatched Cottages. Thank you for sharing this information with us.
Love,love,LOVE these videos! Please keep up the good work. They make us want to spend every holiday in Great Britain! That’s kind of difficult as we live in Virginia, USA…..
🎉❤ love all the fun facts and inspired packed in this vid ❤🎉
Thank you! I plan on a trip to your beautiful country someday, and had no idea of all the different varieties of amazing Cottages.😊
Beautifully presented!
Thank you so much for this informative and very pleasantly lighthearted presentation about the actual definition of COTTAGE as used in the UK. What was new to me was that it defined a kind of poor man's or farmer's home, that did NOT have any land. But now that you have outlined it, it actually makes sense to me, considering the landlord / peasant relationship in UK history. So thank you so much. I love anything English and I am still seeing myself living in one of those jewels one day soon. So please do go on with your channel...glad I found you here...will watch your content regularly to help me make my dream and specific wishes come true sooner....lots of love from Germany ;)
Excellent info! Thank you.
I really really appreciate your pauses with the pictures. Also your voice is nice to listen to! And your hair rocks and you are very pretty! New subscriber here!
The area of Little Rock, AR, where I grew up, was an area of mixed styles of homes. Some small cottages and some very large estates. This area called Pulaski Heights, was one of the first residential areas of the city. The home we lived in was a Tudor style, which sat on two city lots. Very large with lots of character. I love the English cottages.
Thank you. This was truly enlightening. While it wasn't high on my list of mysteries, I've always wondered about this definition. My fave: Yorkshire Dales.
Very nice, and so well presented. I could live in any of those cottages!
Thank you! Fascinating!
We live in the county of Northumberland, it's so beautiful. Crammed with medieval castles and little villages like Corbridge. My cottage is over three hundred years old, the original Roman road, Dere street runs past it.
Your cottage sounds so picturesque Julie❤️🙏
Thank you! Very good research and presentation!
My late uncle lived in a thatched cottage in the Netherlands - I think of him every time I see one!
I loved this video! It would be wonderful to see inside these cottages. How does one choose? The Cotswold cottages and the Yorkshire cottages were both lovely ❤️
I too would love to see the interiors.
Thank you! Enjoyed very much!
Very informative and enjoyable. Thank you!
thank you. this was so well organized and explained. Cotswold is for me.
Thank you for a lovely and very informative video, delivered with great charm!
Sorry it took me so long to respond! Thank you so much for your kind comment Maribel💗💗
Oh, also I love your videos!!!!💗💗
Thank you🥺🥺💓
What a wonderful video! I'm impressed with your knowledge, and I have subscribed to your channel! I love this content!!!! And I love design and fashion. You are awesome. :) Your fan from Minnesota, USA.
Loving your inspiration
Thank you for your lovely comments Tracey 🙏🙏🤗🤗❤️
I love hearing the histories and reasonings behind homes and other things. I am in the United States and love seeing photos of the Cotswolds!!! Thank you for enlightening me!!
Thank you Angela for commenting 🥰🥰
Yorkshire Dales (because they remind me of my favorite show) and Thatched Cottages are my favorites, but all of them are so charming!
I really love the stone cottages of the Cotswalds and the Yorshire Dale's (and all of the other styles as well). I did notice that many of the cottages were actually quite large. I would not have identified most of them as cottages for that reason. I suppose its the large, grand buildings that tend to be though of as worthy of preservation. Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it.
The Tudor style has always been my favorite English style of cottage! Strikingly beautiful!
What an interesting video. I love that natural stone cottages that you showed. Also the cottages in the town that were made of limestone.
These sound very interesting and I cannot wait to try them 😊
Thank you! 🌟🤗🤗
So informative & easy to understand! Thank you! 🙏
You're welcome! 🤗🤗
I think my fave has always been the cotswold and the Yorkshire dales cottages mainly because of growing up Mid West and having access to both. For some reason I've fallen in love with them recently
Whaen you described cottages built on great estates to accommodate poor relations I couldn't help but think of the Dashwood sisters in Sense and Sensibility. Thanks for all of the information about the various styles. I grew up in a Tudor Revival in the U.S. and loved it.
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
I'm living in one. And it is my favourite! It's a simple stone, two-storey worker's cottage, probably more than 200 years old, which has been sensitively modernised. You get lots of wildlife (mainly of the eight-legged variety) coming in. There are families of sparrows living in the roof. Some people wouldn't take to it, but for me it's paradise.
Your home sounds perfect and cozy 🤗 Thanks for commenting! Happy Holidays🎁❄🎄
Thatch. I'm 35 years old, & I've loved thatched roofs for 22 of those years!
This was such a delightful presentation as well interesting and informative 👏
My choice would be a pretty tiny cottage ❣️
As an Ameican designer, I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for all the work involved in creating it. Well done!
Oh thank you! I really appreciate your comment, coming from a designer🙏🤗🤗
Wow I really like the cottage look but i never knew the history behind the style and that there are different types. I really liked the video a lot!
Hi Bloom 🌼 Thanks so much for your words, I appreciate it 🤗🙏
I live in the Southwest in the US. Its super hot desert. All the houses out here look the same, boring tan stucco. I love French Country/Cottage Core. My boyfriend seems to think because we live in the desert and live in a desert house, we can't have pretty French Country inside. We love antiques, history, the old ways, greenery (grass and trees). I think no matter what the outside of our house looks like, we can have whatever we want inside.
Thank you for clarifying on the cottage living that it was for the servants , they also picked the clippings from the main garden .
I think I've learned that a stone cottage (not uniform bricks persae) is my idyll. The Yorkshire dales came real close! I've also wondered how that stone performed in different types of weather? Anyway... I'm off to search stone & Yorkshire Dales to see I finally narrowed it down. lol Thank you for the video!
You're more than welcome 🙏
Very interesting and peaceful presentation! Thank you!
No thank YOU for the sweet comment 🤗🤗💗
