Top 10 most popular house names in the UK

Top 10 most popular house names in the UK. According to a recent survey, changing the name of your house could increase its value! Estate Agents are advising clients to change house names regularly. Not to something obscure and quirky but to something round, established and English.

Names are all about associations; The Old Rectory sums up the Georgian or Victorian ideal of summer afternoons, fetes and village life. It is about the lifestyle. The Cottage is the most English name. It is an encapsulation of the outside of the house and the inside. Meanwhile, The Coach House conjures up images of high ceilings, exposed brick work and interesting shaped windows and doors.
