How a Child would Draw a House

More walking today with an increase in distance, wish the council would improve the pavement conditions. Uneven surfaces, slopes into the road and the usual potholes and tripping dangers. Or maybe it might just be my age and balance, I do use a walking stick.

I love this building in the village and it always reminds me how children often draw houses if you ask them, well that's how I would have drawn one, with perhaps one change. The chimney would have been in the centre of the roofline.

The brickwork is lovely but if you look closely the upstairs window on the right seems to have been made smaller and also the bottom one on the right.

So go on then, see if you can draw a house like this with just a pencil and paper.
lovely capture ...

Oh my goodness, that is an absolutely adorable cottage😊I would love to live there. My mother-in-law had 100 little tiny stone cottages that she had collected on various trips to the UK and I’m sure I could find one almost identical in the hundred we inherited. (Boxed in the basement😬)

You’re right, this is exactly how a child (and I) would draw a house. I love the not quite symmetry.

Your correct, chimney in the center, complete with sagging roof line. And don't forget the curl of smoke.

Beautiful stonework. Great capture.

Also, the history and age would be of interest. (too much watching of Time Team) upper story corner on left stone work doesn't seem to continue below (first floor?) unless the building continues to the left. And the rest of the building is interesting.

What a lovely home - you're correct, it does seem to be a bit off center.

Love the stone work. Odd they would reduce the window sizes. Must have been a sale on windows.

Yes this is how I would have drawn a house when I was a child too. I had forgotten just how small windows are in the UK.
