The Cottage Life
Emily Carter
"I am excessively fond of a cottage; there is always so much comfort, so much elegance about them. And I protest, if I had any money to spare, I should buy a little land and build one myself, within a short distance of London, where I might drive myself down at any time, and collect a few friends about me and be happy. I advise everybody who is going to build, to build a cottage."
Jane Austen

On a cove of Greenvale Creek, this charming early cottage offers an affordable opportunity to enjoy this coastal life. The private dock with raised deck on the creek provides water access and serene views. The large yard is framed by a quaint picket fence.
English Cottage Style in River Setting on a knoll overlooking the majestic Corrotoman River, this quaint home is reminiscent of a Cotswold cottage. Surrounded by simple garden areas with wide river vista and serene creek views, it encompasses the ultimate Chesapeake Bay setting. There is the added benefit of significant elevation out of the flood zone, yet it is enhanced by a gentle slope to Taylors Creek for easy access to the private dock.
