- flagstone floors
- stairs, e.g. wooden dogleg, stone spiral
- ceiling beams and roof beams (where appropriate)
- fireplaces and/or inglenooks

In other words, just what you’d expect in a real period house!
If you wish, you can choose to have your dolls house plain inside (do-it-yourself interior) for a reduced price.
Built in the round to look good from all angles
Features on all sides mean our dolls houses are realistic. We don’t believe in bare, unsightly backs. Our buildings are designed to look as good from behind as they do from the front.

The back yards of Wetherlam Row
If required, we can provide your cottage with a turntable to make the most of this feature.
Easy access
Removable floors, stairs, etc. mean that your dolls house is easy to access for decorating, lighting and furnishing. When you’ve done, just slot everything back into place!

Easy to light
Prepared for lighting - all our dolls houses are provided with grooves in floorboards and holes where needed, ready for you to lay in place the wires from your lights. Also, conductive tape is fitted behind false walls, and transformer points are positioned upon the perimeter of the base. Needless to say, everything is hidden from view

We include some simple hints and tips on how to light your cottage but, if you wish, we will put the lights and fires in for you. Just ask!
A piece of history
Historical accuracy is important to us. Your dolls house will be a true to life version of a Lake District property. We research our subject and then design with care to enable us to combine the necessary flexibility of a dolls house with the authenticity of a scale model.
Personalised ‘deeds’
A ‘deed of conveyance’ is provided when you buy a cottage, stating the property
has been transferred to you. The deed gives you an outline of how this type of cottage developed over the years and the story of the people who may have lived
in it.
Please note: deeds are only supplied with our fitted cottages and not our other buildings.
10% discount
10% discount on your first order of furniture comes with every fitted dolls house you buy from us. This enables you to begin furnishing your new house at a bargain price!

Make your dolls house truly unique
Change or add features to your chosen dolls house. This might be a different type of fireplace, a particular shade of paint on the walls or a panelled partition instead of wattle and daub. Whatever it is you want, we will try to accommodate your choice of features while maintaining the authenticity of the building.
