Cottage Life
Cottage life is very diverse. A row of cottages may look similar in appearance to its neighbour either side....but once opening the front I guarantee that isusually where the similarities end. Here in the UK most cottages however humble their beginnings have been modernised and updated to offer all modern day comforts.. whilst retaining a little of their former charms. Come see my cottage renovation of what started life probably as an estate cottage of a grand manor house.
Floor Plan 236.89㎡
The two floors are an exact replica of each other. The ground floor has a large entrance room, leading directly through to the living/dining area and onto the kitchen, the generous stairs take you up to the large L shaped bedroom and around to the bathroom.

Space Showcase 32 Renders
Knock at the door, lets see if anyone is at home. This is Mays second home & weekend retreat. Located in London working for an banking giant she rents a basement apartment...so May has designed this home to be full of light and refurbished the windows large enough to enjoy her country views.
Bedroom
Flooded by light throughout this sunny cottage has had internal walls removed to give this spacious one bedroom area the benefit of ample floor space and enables the room to flow.
The fabric used here on the drapes and bedding was found in the old trunk which is now at the foot of the bed. With the aid of modern technology wallpaper was created to match.
The L shaped room has been furnished with a collection of family heirlooms, new pieces and the unexpected delights of antique fares and flee markets.
soft beech wood, off whites and earthy taupe tones create a restful country feel.
The chest that was full of fabric... now make the perfect blanket box.
As night falls soft pink lighting bathes the area and you can view the screen upholstered in matching fabric which partly conceals the bathroom beyond.
A small desk by the window, to enjoy the countryside views and the railed area to the descending stairs.
Kitchen
Cottage life has come along way since stone floor sculleries and mangles for washing. This kitchen with limed oak units and scrubbed pine table has the essence of a country property.. however May now has now a modern but sympathetic renovation.
Large wooden dresser and blue and white check wallpaper enhance the cottage ambience.
Bread, cheese and fruit .... time doesn't change natures bounties.
Units are simple, with wood sink, and small mosaic tiled flooring which is extended up one wall behind the units.
Help yourself to a glass of wine.
Living Room
Seen from the dinning room area the kitchen is a warm mellow space.
mind your head on that plant.
step out of the kitchen into the dining section where a handsome oak unit divides the space to the sitting area.
the blue and white check fabric has been continued, interspersed with soft grey and a little brown linen.
Views across the room out to the countryside beyond...a floor to ceiling window floods this area with light and is a great place to watch the countryside from.
the entrance area is another reception space in its own right with lots of natural light.
Simplicity and cottage comforts... for the chilly winter nights.
720°
This view will allow you full visual access to both the lounge/diner and kitchen areas.
Bathroom
Leading straight on from the bedroom the blue and white bathroom is furnished with a shaker style display cabinet and matching sink unit.
Bathroom knickknacks in matching blue, perfect against the mellow wood.
Blue painted ceiling, roll top bath and a trophy from maybe the local shoot displayed on the wall.
This display cabinet acts as a wall backing directly onto the screen behind.
simple rush matting and the bath time reading to hand.
tucked away discreetly .... and ready for your convenience
Hallway
The entrance with its seating area provides another roomy area.
soft lighting plays upon the polished plates
Stairs lead directly to the bedroom and are wider than you will find in many similar cottages
view through the stairway tread to the sitting area
soft blues, grey and muted amber tones create a tranquil look to this cottage entrance ..a lovely space for a coffee.

I am still reeling! Wow! I knew you'd give us the gold standard in English cottages, and whew!! You did not disappoint!! This is the most gorgeous, well-laid out design! I love the flow, the color, the patterns. I was so in love with the top floor, and then I went down to the living/ dining areas! Absolutely gorgeous!! It was true on the app, and I'm seeing it come to life even more so here- you place furnishings so brilliantly. Never crowded, but never wasted space. I love this, Karen! Standing ovation!!

Like you said in the beginning, none of the cottages look the same from the inside and in this cottage the truth is that it's truly unique and carry the personality and character of the owner right through the whole space! Love the color palette and how it was repeated to create a lovely flow! And yes, the wide and inviting staircase is my favorite!!
