It is a lovely house and I really do think you can use a cottage style garden and it will look wonderful.

I have a Tutor revival house with a cottage type garden in back and a much more formal garden in front. Both of which cross borders.

As to confusion. We have come to the conclusion our house is a Tutor Revival. It was photographed for a book on Cottages and he called it a Storybook Cottage. It has also been considered a Bungalow style.

Here Is my version of a cottage garden. I had to make sure the fence was in the photo.
