cba, What a coincidence! I passed the cottages on Tuesday on the way to the library and thought they must all be owned by the same person. Thanks.

Thank you for the photograph. They were a bit more basic when we lived there. Entered through front door into a living room. Kitchen through from that, with a bath in it, covered by a board to use as a work surface. Through the back door to an outside toilet, one of 4 in a block. Small garden semi shared.
The stairs were through a door off the living room and led to two bedrooms. I suppose you could call it cosy. I know that's how Mum and Dad made it. I hated the outside loo because you could hear anyone using the one behind yours! I don't know the age of the cottages but the structure is very similar to some Elizabethen ones in Stratford upon Avon.
