Please help me name this house!

[Tigerlilly342]

Looking for suggestions to rename our house. Current name is causing a lot of confusing hence the change.

characteristics of the house;

• built in the 1800s
• very traditional exterior
• Set in the countryside
• house surrounded by gardens full of flowers and trees
• gardens include an orchard and small lake

any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The Elms
Orchard house
The oaks
Would not mention the lake if at all

Mahogany Manor
Vair Naice Villa
Grandiose Grange
Celestial Castle
Pompous Pond

None of the houses in my village have numbers, only names. Some of them are rather unimaginative. For instance, there's a little lane sloping down from the main road. The house nearest the road is Upper Down, next along is Lower Down and at the end is Further Down 😁

I've no idea but I'd like to move in with you. Sounds beautiful

Exactly the same in my road. We have a house number, and use it alongside the name, but all the other houses in the road either have just a name or are numbers within terraces. It's horrible for deliveries and quite dangerous for emergency services not to be able to find places quickly. I don't like the name of our house but wouldn't try to change it because the confusion would only get worse.
I wish the council would just renumber the whole road and ask everyone to display their number prominently, alongside their house name if they like to use it.

I feel your pain, I have to name a house soon and I have "definitely" decided three times so far, only to go off it after a few months! So maybe choose one and let it sit there for a while. We need a name as very rural, existing name is awful.

After all my changes of mind I suddenly had a moment of clarity and couldn't believe how I'd not thought of this particular name before. It's one of those something cottage types of name, which I'd dismissed, but changing it to something house made all the difference.

Best of luck!

Love it!

Any nice animals in the garden?
I’ve seen
fox den
drey
rookery
the hoot
Holt
The starlings
little wren
robins nest

How about after a bird or plant variety in the garden?

Whitethorn house
Cherry Blossom House
Kingfisher House
Lark House
Rowan House
Briar lake house
The Brambles

We've got Melverley up the road.

What I would do is take something from my family history. If you have, eg Welsh connections you could translate Oak Cottage into Welsh.
DH's family home was named after the village where they had originally come from and lived for generations.

I quite like it when people name their houses after fictional places. Especially when it's from Lord of the Rings e.g. Rivendell!

Blur

" Edens echo" given the apples,abudance florals,lake and naked gardner/housekeeper on site(ok made them up)

If you wanted oak cottage , what about something like acorn cottage or Woodside cottage?

The cinnamons.

Back of the net

😮

I like The Elms. Or Elm House.

Or Notta Boastatall.

Notta Cottage has quite a nice ring to it.

Some of the suggestions sound like pubs.
Just popping down the Robins Nest for a pint... 😀.

I'd go with The Tree House 😀

<Village Name> House

<Road Name> House

Lake House

Orchard House

Ooh what about your favourite book? Or character from a book?

If it's 1800s and traditional looking, I would think something with "Villa" would be appropriate.
But it would be more fun to name it after something your work involves, for instance - Hairspray House, Enema End, Mortarboard Manor, Carburettor Cottage... or a favourite song - Wonderwall, Nevermind 😁. I bet delivery drivers would remember you OK then!

Oakapple House/cottage/manor?
Quercus House? Quercus is Latin for Oak.
