The Plymouth Top 100 Cottage Name Countdown

The Plymouth Top 100 Cottage Name Countdown

Cottage Names 85 to 81

Cottages are stitched into the fabric of British housing. Whether you are in the middle of a city, on the edge of a town, or tucked away in a village, there is something about a cottage that captures the imagination. They connect us to history, reflect their surroundings, and remain one of the most desirable styles of home today.


Working with our friends at Denton House Research, who analysed Land Registry data from the last 10 years, we have uncovered the Top 100 most popular cottage names in the UK. Alongside the rankings, we are sharing the average sale prices achieved for each.


This week we share the names that sit between the 90th and 86th place:

85th - New Cottage
84th - Horseshoe Cottage
83rd - Field Cottage
82nd - Flint Cottage
81st - Rectory Cottage


This week’s countdown takes us from 85 down to 81 and features New Cottage, Flint Cottage, Field Cottage, Horseshoe Cottage, and Rectory Cottage. Each of these names represents a slice of heritage that appeals to buyers across the country.


Next week we continue the countdown with 80 to 76, and we will keep going week by week until, in 17 weeks’ time, we reveal the UK’s number one cottage name.


Why not tag a friend, neighbour, or client who lives in a cottage, so they can follow along and see where their home might feature in the countdown?
