Hello April ! Presumably with a name like that, you were born in June ? HA HA !Happy New Year everyone ! A cottage is somewhere quite often with cold floors ! My feet are freezing, so a fan heater is an essential household item ( wasn't there a thread about that on here ? ). Two pairs of socks became mandatory wear as from the end of September ! My goodness - the year IS speeding away - even the TEACHERS start work tomorrow ! BYE ! |

I would not class any house in a town as a cottage.
And a terraced house (of whatever size) is defintiely not a cottage. A cottage is a small detatched house, in the country, with a garden. I would say no more than 2 bedrooms, three at a push. Age comes into it as well. I'd say no younger than the Edwardian period. It needs period features too eg original fire surrounds or exposed ceiling beams etc. |

When I bought my current home it was described as a 50s cottage
I have sent all sorts of homes described as cottages, from really old houses in the country to new terrace houses in towns. So define what a cottage is? ![]() Not enough room to swing a cat with ye olde worlde UPVC windows? I'll stick to the OED. A small house, typically one in the country. Quote:

It shouldn't be allowed to be called a cottage unless Miss Marple would live there.

Everyone's ideas of what a cottage is will be different, same goes for 'mansion' etc. |
