as no
overwhelming, but from the point of view of the
landlord the question of repairs has to be faced.
In the case of the cottages at Milford the landlord
proposes to fix the rent at such a percentage on
other form of roof can. The risk of fire can
be met by the application of a fire-proofing
solution, and vermin can be kept at bay by
chemical treatment. From the tenant’s point
of view the practical advantages of thatch are
revivals and classic revivals, as well as in our
attempts to reproduce the picturesque old cottage,
we have been concerned mainly with external
aspect as a thing to be consciously arranged in
accordance with a definitely designed preconception
instead of a natural outcome of the
governing factors of the problem.
Referring to the illustrations, the
cottages at Milford in Surrey are now
being built at a contract pi ice of ^390
for the pair. The plan shows the
parlour lending its space to the living
room to give a roomy interior.
On the upper floor the bed¬
rooms are large enough to allow
of one of them being divided
by a partition to form cubicles,
thus giving three bedrooms if
required.
The pair of thatched cottages are of somewhat
similar plan to those at Milford and serve to show
how the use of thatch admits of curving roof
lines. But apart from its obvious artistic qualities,
thatch as a roof covering is specially appropriate
for buildings in which bedrooms must necessarily
be in the roof, because it keeps these attic
rooms warm in winter and cool in summer
