 52^1 COTTAGE, FARM. AND VILLA ARCHITECTURE. Design XXXIL — A Farm House and Farmery for 200 Acres of arable Land, and 300 of Pasture, in Ross-shire. 1048. Accommodation. The general appearance is shown in fig. 1044, and the ground plan in fig. 1045. In the latter, the house contains a living-room, a ; small office or business-room, h ; and kitchen, c. On the garret floor are two bed-rooms, d, e, lighted from windows in the gable ends, and with closets partitioned off under the roof, llie farmery shows a place for hogs, /; potato- house, g ; boiling-house, h ; wash- ing-house, i ; cattle-shed, k ; spare stable, Z; work-horse stable, m; straw-house, n ; barn, with gra- nary over, o ; mill-shed, p ; cow- house, q ; tool-house, r ; dairy- scullery, s ; dairy, t ; cattle-shed, u ; cart-shed, v ; calf-house, w ; temporary enclosure for calves, x ; poultry-place, y ; and privy, z. The construction is the same as tliat of the two preceding, and of the following Design. 1049. General Estimate. The cubic contents of the house are 13,376 feet; which, at 3d. per foot, is £ : 4s. : those of the farmery are 1 1 2,708 ; which, at ^d., is £104: 9s. : 4d. 1050. Remarks. This is a com- pact well arranged Design, as Fi far as respects the farmery ; and the washing-house appears to be a substitute for a back-kitchen to the dwelling-house ; the latter being on a very confined scale, and, we suppose, intended for the r(>sidence of the grieve (bailiff). Tiie cattle-sheds, k and u, are judiciously contrived so as to shelter the cattle both from the north-east and south-west winds, according to the prevalence of either ; these winds being most severe. 1045 TfTTT ^ <5> -CD-^ [='
