I think it’s neat but could never live somewhere like that. I need Walgreens around the block and like 50 different places to eat. I’m ridiculous, lol. The house itself is super cute. I bet it’s haunted! Which makes me like it more.
Not going to lie, I was looking hard at the pictures to see if I could find anything interesting. I love the fact that it could be/ and most probably is haunted lol
Very cool. A for real thatched roof cottage. That's only 387,066.60 in US dollars. I wonder why there's no pics of the bathroom. The walls don't look insulated at all, though.

To my limited knowledge, if the majority of the construct of the house was kept close to the original, then the walls are most probably a mud/straw mixture which is how I believe they would have insulated the houses at that period in time.

Probably not any more insulated than old houses here in the US that were made with plaster and lathe. I imagine that it gets pretty cold in the winter time. Those fireplaces look massive for the size of the rooms.
I'm glad you like it..
I could not live in something so small. I think I'd lose my mind. We live in a 2100 sq ft house and it feels too small with 2 kids, a dog and 2 cats. I told Dh the smallest I will go is around 1700 sq ft when we retire. My oldest was to be the single mother of cats and live in a tiny house. LOL More power to her and to those that want that lifestyle. I just couldn't go so small.

Yeah it might not meet modern standard insulation expectations, but the size of the home and the heating elements probably do a great job, providing you are willing to spend the time to keep up with it lol. Or they may have added electric or gas into the home. Probably will cost more to keep warm than a modern house but not by much.

Our home right now is a little over 2000 sqft and I hate it. When we moved in, I thought this was what I wanted and thought we would have the space to move around. What I found is all that extra space just gets filled up with crud we don't actually need and its more to take care of lol. I was much happier when we lived in our 2 bed apartment and only kept, mainly, necessities. I felt more organized and less cluttered there for some strange reason lol.
