Similar to Urmstingran, my dream home is a cottage right by the sea, so I can walk to the end of my garden and onto the beach.
The front would face into a pretty street, with lovely little arty shops and cafes.
The cottage itself would have a largish kitchen/diner/ living space and would look out to the sea. It would have a small laundry, cloakroom. Facing the front would be the cosy sitting room with log burner ( even though I know they’re bad for the environment) and would be furnished in chintzy cottage style with lots of pictures on the walls,some done by me.
Upstairs, I’d have three bedrooms, one used as a sewing/painting room. One family bathroom and one en suite shower room. My bedroom would be the one with the sea view of course.
The garden would have a small lawn, and lots of flowers, shrubs and two or three trees, one with a swing. Also a pergola with highly scented climbers and lovely rattan sofas. It would have a winding path down to the gate leading to the beach, and more seats down there. At the front, there would be a small garden with a small table and chairs where I could have a cuppa and chat to passers by.
To complete this idyl I would have a little well behaved jack russell who had a basket in every room.
I’d have frequent visits from my lovely children, so might have to increase the number of bedrooms.
I often go through this dream house in my head as I’m drifting off to sleep.
If only I could win the lottery ☺️
