As summer approaches, buyers are attracted to quintessential country cottages like honey bees to garden flowers. The best examples are snapped up by a diverse range of buyers, from those making their first step on the ladder or perhaps looking for a rural idyll in which to bring up their young families to busy professionals seeking a weekend or holiday retreat and older buyers planning to take life more slowly.
Often built for agricultural workers in times gone by, country cottages have a heritage and charm that is very appealing.Throw in roses around the door, hollyhocks in the garden, wooden beams, open fires and a thriving village with a traditional pub within walking distance, and it's no surprise that those in the most scenic locations are unlikely to stay on the market for long.They also tend to hold their value.
Here are six of the best on the market.
