Honestly, could there be a more charming name for a home? You’ve got to admire the whimsy. It’s not Pickle Palace or Pickle Towers. It’s a cottage. That alone sets a relaxed, almost fairytale tone. This isn’t a mansion designed to impress; it’s a nest designed to feel like a hug.
The home famously belongs to Ed Sheeran and his wife, Cherry Seaborn. They bought it for around £3.7 million in 2019, and it’s where they now raise their two daughters. It’s also where Ed recorded parts of his album Subtract. Imagine that—chart-topping melodies drifting out of a cottage window over a garden full of, you guessed it, pickles? Well, maybe not actual jars of pickles, but the name stuck from the previous owner’s quirky tradition.
It’s Not Just a House; It’s a Hideaway
Picture this: it’s a 17th-century farmhouse with modern extensions, painted a soft, creamy white. There’s a massive copper beech tree in the front garden, a swimming pond that feels like a natural lake, and a treehouse for the kids. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to kick off your shoes and not check your email for a week. Sound familiar? It should, because it feels like a grown-up version of the treehouse you always wanted as a kid.
And get this: the property is completely surrounded by farmland. No paparazzi hiding in the bushes, no gawkers driving by. Ed bought up some of the surrounding land to ensure privacy. It’s his fortress of solitude, but way cozier than Superman’s ice palace. He even installed a pub in the garden called The Lancaster, named after a pub in his hometown. If that isn’t the ultimate dream, I don’t know what is.
