Design for £600 Cottage submitted in the “Country Life” Cottage competition by Cocker and Hill

Messrs. Cocker and Hill's design is shown by a pretty perspective, illustrating a cottage of pyramidal type set against a backing of trees. The rooms on the ground floor are well disposed, but the fourth bedroom is on the second floor, an arrangement which is incidental to the squarer type of plan in a cottage of this size. [Country Life Book of Cottages 1913. page 131]
