What Is A Cottage Front Door?
Nothing represents the British countryside quite like a stone-built cottage full of character and craftsmanship. Cottages are mostly older properties and often situated in conservation areas, National Parks, or have listed building status, so any home improvements need to be made with care.
When making any improvements to the exterior of a cottage, all changes should be in keeping with the traditional country feel. When replacing the front door on a cottage it’s important to maintain the character and integrity of the building whilst adhering to any guidelines for changing the appearance.
Common features of a traditional cottage are low ceiling heights, small rooms and non-standard sized doorways. At Everest, we offer a fully made-to-measure door that can fit any non-standard or unusual-sized doorway for a perfect fit. We also offer door styles and colours suitable for a country cottage such as muted shades of classic green, brown or grey.
For a cottage front door, a composite door could be a suitable option if there are no restrictions, or a solid timber door. Stable doors are popular as a back door, but can add character as a front door to a country cottage property.
