Re: Beautiful English Cottage

I do, I do!  What a quaint gem you found, @ECBG --  so authentic to its time and place!   It's like a doll house set down in those Norfolk marshes, with all the requisite quirky English touches.  That original door hardware alone!

 

Thanks so much for posting!

That's a charmer. Can you imagine being able to look out on those lovely gardens? The stairs could be a bit scary, though.

 

I also enjoyed hearing the architectural and English terms used so matter-of-factly, such as inglenook, burn, rondelle, and snug.

 

Did everybody catch the dog tail in the beginning, disappearing under the table? It's not an English cottage without a dog or two. The dogs who showed up later were not the dog I was expecting.

 

Some of it reminded me of scenes from Midsomer Murders, especially at the end.

Very nice to see something kept in the period.  Small and quaint.  Not too fussy. I like it!

@ECBG  What a charming home!  I could see myself living there, even though I would never go up those stairs!

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Re: Beautiful English Cottage

I love the beautiful gardens and the dogs!

 

I’m not crazy about the greenery covering parts of the front of the house. The decor is not my style, but it seems to work well in the cottage

What a beautiful peaceful place.  As the narrator says at the end, 'What more could you want?'  

 

Thank you so much for sharing.  @ECBG Heart
