Simply Stone
This stone cottage transports us immediately to the English countryside. The beautiful wood paneled roof adds architectural intrigue and draws attention up. Stone is a beautiful building material, but it’s also expensive and difficult to find.
Mediterranean Magic
These Mediterranean-style cottages are distinguished by their red stucco roofs. Although they can be found in many places, their presence is strongest in warm-weather regions.
Brick Beauty
White brick cottages look like a farmhouse. This one with its large front porch and inviting front porch is a great example of this. The front door has half moon windows and the second-story adds charm.
Moss Moment
In coastal areas, cottages with thatched roofs are very popular. These roofs are often covered with moss, which adds to their beauty. However, moss is generally considered to be bad for roof structure. Although it may look like something from a fairytale it is actually detrimental to shingles’ function.
Chic Shingles
Shingled siding is a cottage feature that is often associated with Cape Cod homes. We also see these houses in high-end waterfront destinations like Nantucket or The Hamptons. This style can be enjoyed anywhere.
Amazing Ivy
Cottages are often surrounded with lush, green landscaping. The quintessential English cottage feature of ivy siding is the addition of character and history to these homes. Ivy poses a greater threat to older buildings that it does to well-constructed new ones.
Porch, please
The larger cottage is a farmhouse-style design and features a large porch with swings and plenty of seating. A cottage of small size does not mean that it isn’t a great place to spend time with family and friends.
Cool Cedar
Danielle Driscoll is the owner of the home which dates back to 1927. She notes that the exterior shingles have been red cedar and weathered to gray over the years. This authentic, aged look should be celebrated and not changed. It is true that good things get better over time.
