Fall in love with our country cottages

Beautiful cottages often come with price tags which put them out of reach for many – but delightful character properties can be found that are well within reach for most buyers, as these wonderful cottages we have on the market demonstrate…

Period cottages are still one of the most desired types of properties on the market. One great advantage to them is the huge amount of character they have to offer, both on the outside and the inside. They offer an array of features including solid wood floors, large fireplaces, wooden beams and bay windows, which add countless charm to the property and provide a distinctive backdrop for creating a cosy living space.

Older homes also have a uniqueness that often comes about from years of adding and developing the property. If you are looking for individuality, a character cottage is perfect, as it is unusual to find two the same.

Lately, many have been transforming their cottages with a more ‘up-to-date’ style while keeping to the original features which keeps the home feeling special. Because of this, character cottages no longer need the huge upkeep or have the out of date décor they used to, but are bright, spacious and beautiful.

Luckily where we live, we are surrounded by beautiful character cottages and we happen to have a special selection currently on the market:
