I bought a 300 year old cottage | UK Cottage Tour

A different kind of video from me today! If you follow me on Instagram you'll have seen that I recently bought my first house, a 300 year old cottage in North West England. I wanted a cute place with character and I certainly found it! I've watched about 5000 of these house tour videos so it's exciting to finally have my own. As you'll see, there are plenty of jobs to do 😅 But I'm super happy to be here and ready to make a house a home.
I filmed this on my iPhone and something weird seems to have happened with the colours during the edit in Premiere, so if my face looks a weird colour, that's why (I hope).

CONGRATULATIONS Lily. What a gem you have found and bought. It is so adorable and watching you take us through your new 321 year old cottage was like watching a romance film. Absolutely lovely. Not having a separate shower is the norm for us in Canada but lots of people doing renovations break down a wall and add it. In the meantime, all you need is a shower curtain and a rod for it. The garden is amazing and I am confident that you will make it colorful and sweet. I can't wait to see your own personal changes put into it. Thank you for sharing.

Ah that is such a lovely thing to say, thank you so much! The space does have a romantic vibe (maybe not the bathroom 😅). I think we may end up with a temporary shower solution, depending when I manage to sort the bathroom out properly haha!

Congratulations on your first house! So many nice surprises - all the natural light, the kitchen is so cute and functional, the spacious bedroom, and the wonderful garden. Wishing you many happy years in your home. Thanks for the tour!

Congratulations on your beautiful cottage, Lily! It's lovely, and so is the garden. I look forward to seeing more of your cottage in the future ❤

[@lilykatemakes8358]

Thank you! I’m sure it’ll feature lots on here - hopefully DIY projects in my future!

What a beautiful little cottage - congratulations on your 1st home! 🍾 I was secretly hoping to see more of your cottage "in action" over here on YT since you shared pics on IG. So thanks for taking us on your house tour! 😊

[@lilykatemakes8358]

Ah yay, glad I could deliver! House videos have kind of replaced my knitting podcast viewing these days 😅

[@SandieMitchell]

Congratulations on your new home! Oh my goodness, you found a gem, and those windows are to die for! The house is lovely; take your time making it yours. I'm here for the knitting, travel, and house; it's all a part of who you are. ☺

[@lilykatemakes8358]

I’m sure you can imagine how pleased I was when I first viewed it! Thank you for watching ❤

Lily- what a lovely time in your life lies ahead. So many memories to make while putting your personality in your first home. Enjoy .🥂🧚‍♀️

Congratulations! I am not impressed with the carpeted bathroom with the toilet seat in front of the window, but everything else makes me green with envy. When I saw the garden I nearly fainted. You are a lucky lady, Lily. This home will inspire you to make some great designs which I am looking forward to knit. 🎉

[@lilykatemakes8358]

@@creativian68 I do feel very lucky! And inspired to knit far more things than my hands will ever have time to make 🙈 The toilet under the window is a bit random but luckily the neighbours are quite far away and the blinds are in good working order haha!

Congratulations! What a beautiful house and gem of a garden!! I love old houses (we’re also renovating, an old farmhouse in America) and love watching these types of videos as well. I’ll be excited to see your progress!

Maybe you need to look for one of those tables that packs away into a coffee table size? Not sure what they are called. That way the long room could be multifunctional 😊
