A pair of houses erected to a similar plan to that of the right-hand house in 1904 cost £610 each. The cost of the examples given work out more owing to the fall in the land, which necessitates very deep footings, and also to the plans differing in order to suit aspect and site. PLATE XLVIII. PAIR OF THREE-STOREY COTTAGES. [Illustration: PLATE XLVIII. PAIR OF COTTAGES. SEE PAGE 48.] Plate XLVIII. gives the view of a pair of houses similar to the last, but somewhat reduced in size, and the treatment varied. Brindled bricks are used for the ground floor, and rough-cast for the upper storeys. PLATES XLIX., L., LI., LII., LIII., LIV., AND LV. TWO PAIRS OF COTTAGES. These plates illustrate two pairs of cottages of two storeys each, almost identical in plan, but differently treated. [Illustration: FRONT ELEVATION GROUND PLAN BEDROOM PLAN PLATE XLIX. PAIR OF COTTAGES. SEE PAGE 49.] [Illustration: PLATE L. PAIR OF COTTAGES. SEE PAGE 49.] The accommodation of the pair shown in Plates XLIX. and L. is:— GROUND FLOOR. Dining Room, 13 ft. 6 in. × 16 ft. and bay. Drawing Room, 13 ft. 6 ins. × 16 ft. 3 ins., including ingle and bay window. Kitchen, 10 ft. 6 ins. × 12 ft. Hall, with storm doors, 12 ft. 6 ins. × 10 ft. Scullery, Larder, W.C., Coals, and Tool House. Frontage, 15 yds. BEDROOM FLOOR. First Bedroom, 12 ft. × 16 ft. 3 ins., and bay. Second Bedroom, 12 ft. 4 ins. × 13 ft. 6 in. Third Bedroom, 10 ft. × 10 ft. 2 ins. Fourth Bedroom, 9 ft. × 13 ft. 6 ins. Boxroom, 8 ft. × 10 ft. Bathroom, with Lavatory, and W.C. The dining room is lighted by a small east window and a west bay window, the latter being covered by the roof of the verandah, which terminates in the bay window of the drawing room. Although the kitchen is a small one, it has the advantage of not being a passage room, the door from the hall to the kitchen and that from the kitchen to the scullery being arranged beside one another in the same wall. In these houses the windows have wooden frames and wrought-iron casements. The principal rooms occupy the full width of the back, and the hall is therefore extended to admit of the doors of the two rooms being conveniently placed. INGLE NOOK.—The ingle which results from this arrangement has a beam with a shelf above continuing the line of the architrave, and the ceiling of the ingle is only 6 ft. 6 in. high. There is a small light on one side. [Illustration: PLATE LI. COTTAGE INGLE. SEE PAGE 49.] [Illustration: PLATE LII. DETAIL VIEW. SEE PAGE 49.] The ingle nook is shown on Plate LI., and a view of the oriel on Plate LII. [Illustration: PLATE LIII. PAIR OF COTTAGES. SEE PAGE 50.] [Illustration: PLATE LIV. PAIR OF COTTAGES—BACK. SEE PAGE 50.] The pair of cottages shown in Plates LIII. and LIV. have outer porches, whereby the size of the hall is reduced. A separate view of one of them is given on Plate LV.
