In modern usage, a cottage is a dwelling, typically in a rural, or semi-rural location (although there are cottage-style dwellings in cities). For the UK the term cottage tends to denote a rurally (sometimes village) located one and a half storey property, where on the second (upstairs floor) one has to walk into the eaves in order to look through the windows. This usually means the eaves timbers intrude into the actual living space, and quite often, especially in recent renovations, the relevant timbers (purlins, rafters, posts, etc) can be exposed enhancing the cottage experience.
