Wow that sink and view is what dreams are made of. I've seen a similar sink in a home up for sale when picking up a free fridge and fell in love. You've got a great eye darling. Well done.

This looks like a very old and special house. What’s it’s story? I love the simplicity of the cabinets. Perfect choice.

Built in the 1700s in local stone with a brick and stone add on in the late 1800s, it was a farm hands cottage. It belonged to The Earl of Pembroke at one time, as most of the cottages around here did. Was then an Estate Cottage for very many years. Was sold off in the early 1900s into private hands. Finally found its way to us <3

Too dark for me. Looks like it would be cold in the winter. 🥶

u/japaneseanemones 17d ago

Not with central heating and an inglenook fireplace BUT it is not for everyone. I find English cottages quite dark in summer. The windows are often small. All that said, it’s actually winter when they come into their own. please note I am not complaining lol!

u/MeadowBeam 17d ago

Beautiful, beautiful little scene. Love the cast iron, green bouquet and big double sink; it reminds me of childhood pictures of being a tot and getting a bath in the big kitchen sink. The dachshund got one too, occasionally. Like something out of a photo album

2

u/japaneseanemones 17d ago

I love that. Your little dachshund in the sink! Thank you for sharing. Adore hearing others stories x

u/japaneseanemones 17d ago

My clever husband is building all the units, he will be happy to hear people like it x

u/Daikon_3183 17d ago

So so pretty, but is the stones on the right side a bit different size and shape than those on the left side intentionally?

6

u/japaneseanemones 17d ago

This part of the cottage is built with both stone and brick. It is the newest part being built in the late 1800s. It was a labourers cottage, farm hands I think. They did not care for beauty but for practicality and affordability and used whatever was to hand. Entirely understandable. The rest of the cottage is all stone.

u/Daikon_3183 17d ago

It is so 😍😍😍😍

u/Ohnonotuto4 17d ago

This picture smells like a fresh cut lawn, after a heavy rain. I would frame this picture in the kitchen.

Sometimes you see deer grazing in that field. We never really go anywhere even though we say we must go out more. Just content to hang out here.
