Eeesh! Photobucket was messing me around to the point where I had to rage quit and set up an imageshack account :/ Thought I wasn’t gonna get finished D:
House name:Ye Olde Witch’s Cottage
Front and back are kinda interchangeable since you actually get to the house via boat but I did do a little exit to the rest of the uninhabited island on the other side of the lot:
Somebody stole my boat while I was taking pics! I didn’t even notice until it was too late. It’s in some of the pics though.

House name:Ye Olde Witch’s Cottage
Theme: I was going for a scruffy Elizabethan style house with a bit of nod towards gothic decor (What?! Surely it can’t be gothic without black red and purple?!@* ...I hate just repeating “gothic = black, red and purple” so I did something I thought was probably more apt for the time - imo)
Backstory:
Dragon Valley is a strange and beautiful land shrouded in magic and mystery. Those who’ve visited reminisce with a great fondness about how quaint and old worldly the town and its residents are. They repeat stories told by the townsfolk of magical dragons as though telling a bed time story to a child. Little do they know, beneath the fairytale facade lies a sinister truth more at home in the dark ages than the worlds these visitors come from. You see, the townsfolk don’t just believe in magic and dragons; they know them to be as real as the very ground beneath their feet. Visitors mistake the townsfolk’s obsession with dragons and magic for adoration when in reality it’s an obsession born of fear and misunderstanding. You see, these people also “know” that with magic comes curses and evil and devil worship. Dragons are but demons and those who are known to associate with them are to be tried as witches and will hopefully burn for their sins. That’s just how the world works... at least, that is how this world works.
This is why Meredith Cleary, a resident of Dragon Valley, feels it necessary to live in complete privacy on her own little island just off the coast. That’s also why Meredith has a secret chamber in her basement that only she and a few like-minded folk know exists. Meredith Cleary is a witch. A good one but a witch none-the-less. The townsfolk must never know her secret or Meredith will face the same fiery fate so many before her have. Shhhh...
Details:
1 Bed, 1.5 bath.
Boat storage.
Secret magic room.
Rugged landscape with picnic table and small harvestable garden (inc bees to make honey for elixirs).
