On a cold evening, there's nothing better than getting home, putting on your pyjamas and getting toasty in the warmth. And there's something extra comforting about an open fire and period features, which is why these cute cottages are the perfect backdrop for a winter's night in.
Countryside escape
Ripley Road, East Clandon. GU4
A real rural escape, this charming two bedroom cottage is located in East Clandon, a village to the east of Guildford bordering the Surrey Hills and adjacent to beautiful Hatchlands Park. Period features throughout add to its cosy character – imagine lighting that fire on a cold winter’s night.
Victorian charm
This lovely one bedroom Victorian cottage is situated in south-east Kingston close to amenities on Hawks Road. Arranged over two storeys, this home has been refurbished throughout and extended at the rear, where there is a traditional-style kitchen and a bathroom.
Winter in Wimbledon
Belvedere Square, Wimbledon Village, SW19
Not only is this cute one bedroom cottage deceptively large – for a one-up-one-down – but it has an enviable location right in the centre of Wimbledon Village. It’s around the corner from pubs serving delicious Sunday roasts, clothing boutiques and Wimbledon Common, which is a great place for a weekend stroll.
Cottage in Chobham
Located in the exclusive village of Chobham, this delightful two bedroom cottage is thought to have been built in the 1500s and is Grade II-listed. Some of its charming original features include exposed beams and large brick fireplaces, while its three-storey layout provides plenty of space for a family.
Traditional taste
Situated between Twickenham’s high street and the River Thames, this cute two bedroom cottage is arranged over two levels, with a garden at the back. Refurbished throughout with a contemporary feel, there are period features, such as rustic wood flooring and cast iron fireplaces, which are sympathetic to its traditional build style.
