Notes
Each plot is marked 45.0 feet wide and is about six times as long. At the road end, on the boundary line between each pair of cottages is a well, nine in all. The garden plan shows the back (vegetable) garden laid out as a grid of eight rectangles divided by paths with a less symmetrically arranged front garden. A rough alternative layout has a close opening off the village street with two pairs of houses facing each other on either side.
Five of the nine double cottages were built to the finished plan shown here though the spaces in between were reduced.
