England is well known for its picture-perfect cottages, especially in places like the Cotswolds. However, there are these sweet homes all over the place, not just in the South West. The cottage style of home came about in the Medieval Ages to house agricultural workers. Contrary to common misperception, cottages don’t actually have to have a thatched roof, it just seems a lot of my favourites do have one!
