If I lived alone with my cat I would absolutely love this!

Riverlee · 02/11/2022 07:34

What a really sweet little cottage, straight out of a fairly tale.

Not sure we need some many photos though. - alot of them are essentially the same shot. Sometimes less is more.

That sums this cottage up!

alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 · 02/11/2022 07:42

The outside is cute, the interior is totally hideous, and the price is insane! Not for me, but I can see a single person loving it, or a very close couple.

Who the fuck is that in the kitchen?? Terrifying.

Clawdy · 02/11/2022 07:44

Beautiful fairy tale cottage but the decor is not for me - those awful chairs!

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 02/11/2022 07:45

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

SuperCamp · 02/11/2022 07:47

How bizarre that they built such a tiny ‘replica’ in the 90s. The end of the bed is up against the wood burner. Why go to such expense and not make it more practical?

And as for £650k and the bathroom is downstairs…

sashh · 02/11/2022 07:47

It does look like fairies would live at the bottom of the garden. I think I would be blocking up one of the doors and making that second living room into a bedroom.

The 'summer house' would be my project room / studio because if I lived there I would have to be an artist of some type.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 02/11/2022 07:55

That’s like something out of a fairytale.
I’ve seen rather smaller so-called ‘cottages’* not far from here (SWLondon) selling for not much less.
*Tiny terraced houses, no more than 55 sq m.

ClinkeyMonkey · 02/11/2022 08:06

Very cute and quirky. But the estate agent says in the video that the replica cottage in the garden could be used for guests and for 'sleepovers for the children'. What children? Certainly not the friends of the children who live there. Because there's only one bedroom, so no room for children to live there!

Not crazy about those multicoloured stairs which look as if they were done on the cheap with off cuts. But if I was single, without DC and loaded, I'd buy it (and do something about those stairs - most of the decor in fact.)

MrsJBaptiste · 02/11/2022 07:17

Ew, no, that is not for me. The beams, the decor, the size...

and the ginormous thatching spiders.

I think it’s Pinocchio.

Dragonfly97 · 02/11/2022 08:38

Haunted. Poky & haunted, by that puppet in the kitchen. My inlaws live in a tiny cottage similar, and it's spooky & oppressive. Not for me thanks!!

TheSilentPicnic · 02/11/2022 08:40

lol. so sweet from the outside and so deeply unappealing on the inside.

Craftybodger · 02/11/2022 08:40

Yes definitely porn - no appeal at all! (Apart from the stripes staircase!)

Squeezedsquash · 02/11/2022 08:46

I want to look back at old census returns and find old males Hubbard and her squillions of children living there.

Hoppinggreen · 02/11/2022 08:50

It’s very overworked American slightly bitchy exec spends Christmas there by mistake and gets into hilarious situations involving sheep poo and unfamiliar British food before falling in love with the local widowed single parent gardener

AltroVinoPerFavore · 02/11/2022 08:52

It's hideous

AlecTrevelyan006 · 02/11/2022 08:56

It’s in a nice area - you could rent out the smaller cottage and generate a bit of income.

Lobelia123 · 02/11/2022 09:12

God its AWFUL!!!! Manky carpets, dark interiors, small windows, low celings....I guess its a good thing we all like different things!! I would get claustrophobic in there but each to their own I guess...

TheUnquestionedAnswer · 02/11/2022 09:19

I'd do it up

this style

and this

BingBangBollocks · 02/11/2022 09:55

I love it

JudgeRindersMinder · 02/11/2022 09:59

I’m not keen on the interior but that’s just a personal taste thing, but from outside it’s like something out of a fairytale!

immigrant002 · 02/11/2022 10:01

I am getting claustrophobic looking at it
