More about this scene

This is an almost ideal two- storey chocolate box cottage, with its thatched roof and door hood, small pane timber casement windows, and a profusion of flowers and creepers adorning the boundary fence. The cottage was originally semi- detached, but the second entrance door has been blocked, and a window substituted. The 20th century has arrived at Russett Cottage with its telephone lines and unattractive television aerial.
