It's a well known fact that some people like to name their homes. Rose Cottage, Dunroaming, Donanella, Homelands, River View, even Spirella; I never did get a straight answer from my parents about where that one came from either, well, apart from 'shut up'.
The fine example above does leave me wondering about the builder, or even the first owner's hobbies and interests, maybe they were avid readers of De Quincey, but Belladonna Cottages? Admittedly it has a nicer ring than Deadly Nightshade Cottages but would you want to sample a herbal infusion here?
Time for a coffee and I think I'll make it myself…
