No. 33 Patios · English Cottage
Timber Covered Patio with Cottage Garden
Beside a stone cottage, a timber-framed covered patio with a pitched roof and ceiling fans overlooks an English cottage garden framed by a picket fence, brick walkways, blooming roses, and tall foxgloves.
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
- The paving material and how its joints are handled
- Whether the furniture footprint fits with room to move
- Shade at 4 pm, not just at noon
