stone cottage

Masonry rural home

A stone cottage is a small house built primarily of stone, typically associated with rural England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

The term evokes a quaint, traditional dwelling—often with a thatched or slate roof, small windows, and a cozy interior: They retired to a stone cottage in the Cotswolds.

Stone cottages appear frequently in real estate listings and travel descriptions as markers of rustic charm.
