I've never had a house with a name. My friend Linda has lived in Lindisfarne and Lindishaven amongst others. I like both of those.

We did have a bus stop opposite No 1 when we lived there. Very convenient if I was returning from town with heavy shopping.

We started our married life in Rose Cottage. All our houses have had lovely names. Our current home is Fidwell Cottage. There's supposed to be a well out there somewhere!!!

Our house is Ty-Diwedd welsh for the house at the end

We called our first home Campari and the company who produces the drink sent us a free bottle. Still a favourite tipple today smile

We are very close to the River and we have as our flat name Sea Breeze which fits in nicely with the area.

I used to live in "Shanlaragh". I discovered that it was the name of a vllage in Ireland, I fancied it so chose it. My present house which was built in 1988 just has a number.

Coach house. I've thought of renaming it chaos!

What lovely names grannyactivist I really like April Cottage and Lavender Cottage, so sweet.

My parents in law lived in Rose Cottage, then April Cottage and now in Pine Cottage and my daughter lives in Lavender Cottage.

I also thought it might be a nice thread to to know what your house is named so I will kick off with my own house name 'Appletrees'
