The perspective presents two of four cottages which are being built at High Garrett for the trustees of the late Miss Cawston. The cottages might appear at first sight to be extravagant in their picturesqueness and awkward in their accommodation, which is by no means the case. The rooms on ground-floor are arranged to suit the special requirements of tenants in this neighbourhood, and thethree bedrooms provided in the roof space are well lighted, each having a fireplace and ample headway.
