No. 48 Fire & Spa · English Cottage
Covered Porch with Stone Outdoor Fireplace
An outdoor fireplace with a raised hearth anchors a covered timber porch, framed by an English cottage garden filled with pink roses, purple foxgloves, manicured boxwood hedges, and brick-edged flagstone pathways.
Design notes
English cottage design is abundance with a plan. Look for brick, flagstone or gravel paths that give the eye a route, borders packed with roses, foxgloves, lavender, catmint and delphiniums, and a little structure from clipped box, a picket fence or an arbour. Materials are aged — reclaimed brick, painted timber, weathered stone — and there is always somewhere to sit: a bench under a tree, a bistro table by the door.
What to look for
- Conversation-distance seating all the way around
- Setback from structures, fences and branches
- A dry, lit path back to the house
