What should we name our house?

[MuddyWellyNelly]

Literally don't know where to start!

Building a new house in a field in the countryside. Our plot is long and thin so all I can come up with is Long Meadow. There is nothing growing on the plot itself, Beech trees across the road. House will be fairly large so I don't think anything "Cottage". We will have a barn for horses too.

Hit me with your best ideas. All and any welcome .

p.s. good luck getting it onto the Royal Mail database

A bourne is a winter flowing stream. Oh. Oops! I did know it was the house in P&P, though.

Aren't there any more geographical features nearby, OP? Named hills? Roman forts? Streams? Farms, even?

Long Meadow makes me think Needs Cuttin'

Long Acre for me from all of the sensible suggestions 😁

One of the suggestions I got was The Old Field, which I actually kind of like. But we're in Scotland and it might get mistaken for the golf course (it really really wouldn't ha).

What was the plot called?

Stay classic, for the sake of longevity - The Beeches sounds great.

I live in 'Hill House'. It has been Hill House since the 18th century. My best friend live inna house in the nearest village. It is called 'Badgers Holt' God knows why. It is 6 years old and I have never seen a badger in the vicinity 😁
Imhave to admit a sneaking desire for the name though!

Go classic.

Cheddar I better do more research. It's in a pretty agricultural area but it is high up a hill so I can see what else I could find out.

Cheddar it was called....

"Land to the East of {house next door}" which isn't particularly helpful.

Haha, Hill House!

Windy Bottom

Beech please
Lifes a beech

When my Mum was basically rebuilding her house we nicknamed it casa del shithole

Long Meadow is the name of Monty Don's house and gorgeous garden, as featured on Gardeners World. Quite a lot to live up to.

Casa BevRon like in Brookside

Bramble Wood

I grew up in a house called Quildon. Think it meant restful or something like that.

There were also two houses next door to each other - “Shalimar” and “Why Not?”

Following the MN theme -

Cunting Cottage
Cuntingdon Castle
Pom Bear Palace

Aaa, in Scotland -
Cuddiesbit
Cuddiebrae
Langfauld

What is the house next door called?

Sorted!

Lord House, Ace House or The Cinnamons.

Personally think the best house name in the world is Greengables.

Long Meadow is boring
