Over on Hooked on Houses, Julia has some great pictures posted of this Cottage. Peppard Cottage. Famous for its appearance in the Merchant Ivory film "Howard's End" I have hunted high and low for a good picture of this cottage to no avail. I did manage to get a cryptic address for it. Then spent hours combing the Oxfordshire countryside via Google Earth till I found it. The house is in fact much larger than we are led to believe in the movie. Head over to Julia site for all the great pictures.
Derek, I was staying with friends last March in Reading, just down the road from Peppard Cottage, and we drove up to see the house. A friend of mine was the editor of Howards End so I took pictures of the house to prove to him I'd been there. I've got some really good ones, if you want to see them.

Sean, I would LOVE to see them. All of them. I love to hear about the village of Reading too.
