Cottage Living in High Demand: Why Sellers Should Act Now
Cottagecore demand is soaring, making now the perfect time to sell your cottage.
Cottages are enjoying a golden moment in the property market, with demand for charming character homes showing no sign of slowing. The latest research reveals that “cottage” was one of the most searched for property terms in 2024, confirming that cottagecore is much more than a passing trend.
From exposed beams and cosy fireplaces to gardens big enough for chickens, the romantic lifestyle associated with cottages continues to capture the imagination of buyers. For many buyers, a cottage is not just a property but part of a wider lifestyle choice.
Interest in cottages is particularly strong in hotspots such as Southampton, Bradford and Blackburn with Darwen, where buyer enquiries are at their highest. This means that owners in these areas may find themselves sitting on a property that is at the top of many buyers’ wish lists.
Prices vary significantly across the country, highlighting that charm and character can be just as influential as location. Slough leads as the most expensive place to buy a cottage with an average asking price of £824,500, while North Lanarkshire in Scotland offers the most affordable options at £83,500. Sunderland also presents good value with cottages averaging £115,000. Regardless of region, the unique character of cottages makes them highly sought after.
For sellers, this is the ideal time to act. With strong buyer demand, a dedicated search filter for cottages helping homes stand out, and agents ready to showcase the unique story of each property, owners are well placed to achieve excellent results. If you are considering selling your cottage, now could be the perfect moment to see just how much your home is worth.
