Create an atmospheric scene of a foreboding, abandoned house set against a cloudy night sky. Remove brand elements and alter a few features: 

1. **House Design**: Change the house to a dilapidated cottage with a thatched roof and broken windows.
2. **Lighting**: Light a single window with a warm golden glow, suggesting life inside. 
3. **Moon**: Replace the full moon with a crescent moon, partially obscured by clouds.
4. **Landscape**: Add an overgrown garden with jagged stone paths leading up to the door.
5. **Trees**: Use twisted, gnarled trees instead of the bare branches, creating more visual interest.
6. **Foreground**: Incorporate a small, weathered signpost with faded directions, hinting at nearby locations. 

Maintain a dark and eerie mood throughout the scene.
