The cottage that inspired The Holiday Christmas film is up for sale
The quintessentially English cottage that inspired Christmas classic The Holiday is up for sale in Surrey.
Fans of the 2006 festive film will know Amanda (Cameron Diaz) and Iris (Kate Winslet) swap homes for Christmas. They both end up falling in love with a local guy; Amanda meets Iris' brother Graham (Jude Law) in the snowy Surrey countryside, while composer Miles (Jack Black) steals Iris' heart in sunny LA.
Honeysuckle Cottage, in the London commuter village of Holmbury St Mary, inspired Iris' home in the movie. The crew based the specially-designed set for Rosehill Cottage on the three-bedroom period property.
Many of the character features Iris fell for can be found at Honeysuckle Cottage. There's a cosy inglenook fireplace with Jotul log burner in the lounge, exposed timbers and oak joinery throughout, exposed brickwork in the bedrooms and leaded light windows.
The bespoke, craftsmen-built, hand-painted kitchen with oil-fired Aga is enough to impress any potential suitor, while underfloor heating makes for cosy movie nights in.
With views of the Surrey countryside from the garden, and the local pub just a short stroll away, this really is the perfect place to spend a romantic Christmas.
Honeysuckle Cottage is on the market for £650,000 with Hamptons International.
