Friends' Cottage

Two of my dearest friends live here.... he is a New Yorker, she is Colombian. Now how they came to be married and living together in a little village in rural England is a long story - I'm just very glad that they are! Their gorgeous thatched cottage is down the road from me, they had it re-thatched last year and I think it looks smashing now!
Did the same 'recipe' on it as last week... the shadow from the tree opposite made it a bit speckledly.
So grateful to you for stopping by / commenting - you're smashing!! TGIFT x

What a wonderful house. I wouldn't want to be the roofer though... that's a crazy pitch combined with a thatched roof.

Nice subject and color. I'd love to see a thatched roof put on a house.

I guess you can't find anything like that in Italy: looks stunning. Love your colour treatment too which adds a lot to it

What a beautiful subject for your sepia series. A wonderful capture of a gorgeous cottage.

Amazing old designs that have stood the test of time, love the processing on this too :)

[GPix]

Wonderful looking cottage!! And fantastic processing. You are a very gifted photographer, Phil!!

IThis cottage certainly has a fairy tail quality to it. I wouldn't mind calling it home myself.

[Mischell]

great processing and got that quite feeling to it!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Absolutely fairy-tale through and through! The processing looks great on it.

Amazing capture and the sepia/monochrome effect has made it timeless. Could have been taken over 100 years ago. No powerline, no phone box and no cars. Fav for me.

Beautiful cottage. I love the thatched roof. I have never seen one in person. One day, I hope to travel to England to see those beautiful houses. I have only seen the city of London.

Oh wow! Lovely cottage & great processing!

Ooh brilliant shot! Has a real vintage feel :) The house looks amazing too :)

[John]

Wonderful shot and such a beauty, I have watched thatchers before it is so cool to watch them.

[Sharon]

Beautiful cottage. It''s a lovely shot that I enjoy all the more because the subject matter is unlike anything else I've seen. I don't think I have ever seen anything with a thatched roof that wasn't just a simple hut. This home is beautiful.

[Peter de Graaff]

looks spacious

[Lisa Pouncy]

Beautiful shot. It looks crisp and new in an olde worlde way...not sure that makes sense but I know what I mean :o) xx

[Bev]

What a lovely cottage! I like how you processed it so it aged it. Well done! I would love to move to England but you already know that and you know why as well. Great shot!

[Phil]

@allred - another one for you! So glad to see you popped back for a quick look-see :)

[Megan Richardson]

great shot and treatment of this lovely cottage - it has the lovely look of an old postcard
I'd love to see what it is like inside

[Lisabell]

Now that is an awesome home! It’s so unlike anything you’d find in the States. I’m curious as to how one maintains a thatched roof.

[Sandy]

Beautiful house and I love the process! I would love to see the inside too.
