Halcyon Cottage

This little house has recently been built in a site within sixteen miles of London. The central feature of the plan is the roomy living-room or house-place, which, as in various other plans illustrated, appears as the hall, and, indeed, almost the house itself. The whole of the traffic of the house is confined to the little recess in this room opposite the front door, which can be screened by a curtain from the room itself. The remaining accommodation of the ground floor consists of a small study and the usual kitchen premises, while on the upper floor there are four bedrooms, bathroom and linen-closet in which the hot-water cylinder is placed In the attic there are servant’s bedroom and boxroom. The plan shows the proposed treatment of the garden, and the sketch of the living-room the general homely treatment of the interior.

The inclusive cost of this house was 525.
