A Look around the Village. (No. 2)

Another of my views around the local villages and we come to a very pretty cottage that has been wonderfully looked after by the current owners.

This is a typical English cottage with a name to match, Between the top windows is the name plaque and date, "Rose Cottage - 1845". A rendered brick face and slate roof, what is nice isthat the house still has the original sash windows and non of your plastic double glazing.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the picture.

Wonderful old house - thanks so much for the lovely walk around your village. Amazing that I am not one bit tired after such a long walk! :)

Nice shot. I would have tried to erase the dish on the roof.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@byrdlip Thanks, totally agree, an eyesore on an old building.

@lynnilou Thank you Lyn, you shouldn't be tired as I walked slowly around with my camera.

[Barbara Donnellan]

What a lovely old cottage. It must have wonderful stories and secrets about all of the owners it has had!

Double fronted, white rendered, so iconically English and so pretty; sky dishes are just part of the normal living I guess these days. At least they still have the sash windows, although painting them is a nightmare and I am speaking from experience here:0)

Enjoying your "look around the village." Such an interesting variety of architecture in your area.

@barbarajdonnellan @claireuk @philcameron59 @congaree Thank you all for your comments, must admit I like these old homes even if mine was built in 1983 and has all those modern things.

Lovely historic home - so glad they are keeping it up so well - great capture!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@linnypinny Thanks Lin, it's impressive for the age.

[Margaret Pengelly]

Lovely. The addition of a satellite dish brings it into the 21st century. These dishes have taken over the world. But having breezed through Brisbane with the aid of our sat nav I am in awe of this modern technology.

What a pretty cottage. The "awning" above the door is very decorative.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]
