An Artist's Magical Cottage In The English Countryside | House Tour

Tattie Isles welcomes us inside her enchanting 18th-century thatched cottage in the Dorset countryside—a home that feels as though it belongs in a storybook.

Shared with her husband, four children, horses, peacocks, chickens, dogs, and a steady stream of rescued wildlife, the centuries-old cottage is filled with hand-painted murals, antique textiles, wildflowers, and treasured heirlooms collected over generations.

A florist and set designer, Tattie has approached the home with imagination rather than convention, celebrating its quirks while creating spaces that inspire creativity, curiosity, and family life.

From the ever-warm Aga at the heart of the kitchen to the flower studio where she creates immersive installations for clients around the world, every corner of the property reflects a deep connection to nature, craftsmanship, and the quiet magic of a home that is always evolving.
