| Pike Cottage |
An excerpt from a recent planning application reads: 'A common way to
describe Pike Cottage would be as a chocolate box cottage, with its thatched
roof, stone mullion windows and general architecture. It is a picturesque
typical Cotswold style cottage with its distinctive bobble hedge which runs
the perimeter of Sheep Street
Well, I couldn't agree more. Click on the photo to see the great dane dogs by the door and those pheasants on the roof.
When I am stuck for something to post one day, I will show you a bit more of that hedge.
The plan next week is to get update on the 'work in progress' on that cottage being re-thatched in Coventry.

what a sweet place this is. i think cotswold is the place where kate winslet's cottage was in the holiday. love that movie :)
I love that, "chocolate box..."! It's such a pretty charmer. (I've seen those lovely birds atop thatched roofs and didn't realize they were pheasants!) The Cotswolds is a beautiful corner of the planet:)
Absolutely gorgeous! I have never seen a roof like this one before. This shot is a must see.
Tanya - Bad news about Kate Winslet's cottage - it is real (the exterior that is) but it was purpose built. Follow the link - fun to read http://hookedonhouses.net/2010/12/05/kate-winslets-english-cottage-in-the-holiday/
Oh it is so nice to see you out and about on blogworld, Lulu!
JM - The whole town of Chipping Campden is a lot like this. I can hardly believe it every time I visit.
It's so hard to imagine that you get to see this kind of beauty and charm on a regular basis. Such a long, long way from this corner of the world. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
well pooh, i wanted to move in! i enjoyed the linky :)
Another good one.
You sure had the gorgeous light on your side when you wanted to take this picture!
I just love the details on the rooftop.
Sorry Tanya :)
Adele - After 30+ years living here, I feel exactly the same. It is wonderful that my PC's turn into windows so I can see your world and so many more on a daily basis.
Off to have a look at all of your blogs now. All of you. Cheers!
