OVER £36 BILLION SPENT ON UK COTTAGES IN THE LAST 10 YEARS
Do you dream of the idyllic village and country life?
With their flagstone floors, Suffolk latch doors & open fires, a British country cottage is as charming as it gets.
For many of us, owning a country cottage is nothing but a dream, or if we’re lucky, a holiday experience (looking forward to one of those when this is all over!).
Its the nostalgia with Cottages and the countryside, dreaming of the day we can retire and walk in the open fields with a wet dog and pair of wellies by the back door.
How else would television shows like ‘Escape to the Country’ do so well?
The exposed-stone walls, thatched roofs and little windows - cottages transport us back in time & place that remind us to take life easy and appreciate buildings that are older than our Great, Great (many Greats) Grandparents!
So much so the Brits have bought 91,288 cottages in the last 10 years for an average price of £395,854 each .. that's over 25 cottages a day and a whopping £36.136bn spent on cottages!
