Did you know there are five homes in the UK called “Halloween”?
Three more even go by “Halloween Cottage.”
You’ll find them in places like Norwich, Southampton, Bristol, Leatherhead and the Cotswolds. Imagine the postman’s face every October when he has to deliver there.
What’s fascinating is how a name instantly changes the feeling we have about a property.
“Halloween” sounds eerie and mysterious. “Rose Cottage” feels warm and cosy. “The Old Rectory” sounds grand and established.
It’s a reminder that homes don’t just sell on bricks and mortar.
They sell on emotion.
Buyers aren’t just buying square footage. They’re buying how a place makes them feel the moment they see the name on the gate or the sign by the drive.
So, whether it’s “Halloween Cottage” or “The Coach House,” every name tells a story before the viewer has even stepped through the door.
Happy Halloween from your local Plymouth estate agent.
