Much of the success of the English cottage is due to the fact that 
the house is suited to its surroundings. Its architecture is bred of 
its environment. The straw that grows in the fields thereabouts is 
used for thatch , and the wood hewn into timbers. The house lies snug 
to the ground. It lives intimately with the trees that surround it
