I recognised several items in that cottage as things we have here but then I know my house is weird. Visitors take photos.
There is some really nice stuff in there, and some truly awful stuff. Some of it is just out of place, but all of it together is what gives it the !!!!!! factor for me.0 -

Depends on how hard the pheasant fights back I think!
I genuinely would like to meet the person who has three taxidermied adult peacocks in a two bedroom house and thinks to themselves 'I really need one more'.0 -

Me too, lol!
No peacocks here on the taxidermy front - although we do have some Liberty & Voyage fabrics plus wallpaper all with peacock feather pattern - just an owl, kingfisher, weasel and squirrel.....oh, and masses of butterflies.
Weird house hereMortgage-free for fourteen years!

I don't actually know where to start with this.
I think pic 17 is my highlight, although the fox sliding down the banister is a close second

That's an outstanding find! But a ruined house.
My highlight was Pic 29 and 30. The addition complemented the cushions perfectly.0 -

Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0

I just can’t decide - seems that it may well be bigger than it looks inside, I shall take a viewing I think.0 -
Photo 3 I love what they’ve done with a flat window and made it look like a bay with a window seat and what looks like a built in bookcase on the one side. Ingenious!
