The Holiday

There is a fantastic quote in The Holiday where Iris (Kate Winslet) tells the audience that most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. This is likely to be one of those love stories where someone falls in love with a home. If you've watched The Holiday, you will know Rosehill Cottage and chances are, you have already fallen in love with the simple, rustic charm that this home possesses. If that love has germinated into a need-to-own, this might just be the local equivalent that will fit the bill.
