Clever/funny house names.

In my village there is a house called Hill Top, which is amusing when you realise it is in a dip and frequently floods!

A few months ago I was searching a renting house and seeing the names people give to their houses, I thought I'd list some of the funnier and more original ones that I'd either seen or heard of.

Our first house was a tiny Georgian cottage out in the sticks in deepest Surrey, which came with the name 'Braemar' . I immediately renamed it Wren Cottage and the following spring we were amazed to find a nest of wrens in the porch......
Many years later we bought a very small cottage in the Highlands which was called Ossian House. The big house next door was called Ossian Cottage - not quite sure how that happened, but I wasn't going to change it! [snob] emoticon

my sister in law lived in a little cottage at the end of a road which she named "Wits End"

Travelling to Port Arthur in Tasmania we took the wrong road and accidently ended up in Doo Town. I was thrilled as I had read about the town many years before and didn't know it was on our way. The majority of cottages have a Doo name such as ThislteDoo and Love Me Doo. My son said if he lived there he would have "I'll Doo You."

Friends called their house Chez When , they did enjoy a drink.

Nice one, Sook!

There's two house names I'd nominate as original, both near to me (I live in Oxford). One's called 'Sea View' and the other's 'Chez Chaos'

There is a newly built house in our village with the name 'Llamedos' The owners faced a lot of opposition from neighbours when they put in the planning application and there were some very heated arguments.

I love romantc sounding names. There was a property not far from here (now demolished) that was called, Flight Path Cottage. I used to think of the family lying in bed counting Lancasters out and counting them back in. They probably didn't get much sleep.

When the Wonderful Man asked me to marry him he was living in Scotland, in a traditional bothy, Little Laight Cottage, where most of the running water was down the inside of the walls. I googled the name of the cottage recently hoping that as the name is so unusual I might find a reference to it - and here it is now; what a transformation!

There is a house near mine called Helland House. A smaller property is called Helland Bach!

Our current house name is not particularly funny, as such, until you know that it is totally unsuited to two staunch humanists/atheists like us

Mine too, jane. Definitely posh.

Welcome Oldgirlfriday.
I have never lived in a house with a name, but our first house, in Heaton Park in north Manchester, was a 2-up 2-down end-terrace.
It was described in the estate agent's blurb as a 'quasi-semi'.
Does that count for poshness

There is a house,close to my second home, called the dog house
Probably becaus the husband is always in it

I have only.. current house was called lived in number houses. Current house was called The Station Master's House in the estate agent blurb..but really its just got a number!

Ours is no 11 but because we live on the 1st floor my neighbour underneath sends her Avon orders to The Penthouse !! I wish ?
My Grandpa lived at a cottage the very end of a Cul de Sac which he called The Last Post and his post was always the last delivered in the Road.

Our house in the UK was called 'Threeways' - friends often laughed and said we were not very imaginative

Ah! I'd forgotten...

Just one, Yes jingle its the one in Northumberland. But ana I live with Dd I dont own her house

I must admit that I did love it when my address was:

King George IVth Lodge
Lancaster Tower
Windsor Castle
Windsor
Berks.

My subsequent addresses didn't have quite the same ring to them.

I have suggested to DH that when he finally gives up work (and that's another story) that we call our house "Dunrodding".

How many houses does glass have?

glass Are you talking about the one in the wilds of Northumberland?
