rooms, G the stairs, E small bed-room. In this type of cottage the 

 objection to the ground-plan arrangement is that the scullery has to

scullery. The fuel-place is too far away from the fireplaces, and the 

 privy too near the pantry. In the bed-room arrangement, the great 

 objection is that there are no independent entrances to the rooms. 

 This could be obviated by carrying forward a partition separating the 

 staircase G from the bed-room B, and thus leaving an isolated landing- 

 place, from which independent entrances could be obtained to all the 

 three bed-rooms.
