Lakeview Village Development
Quaint chocolate-box cottages are up there with the most archetypal of all Lakeview village development – and some of the prettiest can really pull on the heart strings. Quiet, cozy and bursting with character and history, it’s easy to picture yourself sitting by a cottage’s open fire in the winter months, and tending to the mature rose gardens in the summer. Thatched cottages – a style associated with Tudor homes which probably one occupied farmland – are often listed buildings, meaning repairs must be undertaken via traditional methods.
The Cotswolds which is England and Wales’ largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is famed for its local stone – from which several of its villages, chock-full of vintage cottages, were built. Alternatively, head to the south-west coast where Cornish cottages are rapidly gaining popularity – unsurprising to anyone who’s ever holidayed there and got a taste for chocolate-box rural.
So where should you be heading to (whether in dream or reality) to find your perfect country estate? Historic Cheshire is particularly known for its country mansions and stately homes.
