WHAT DOES COTTAGE FLAT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cottage flat

Cottage flat

'Cottage flats', also known as 'Four-in-a-block flats', are a style of housing common in Scotland, where there are single floor dwellings at ground level, and similar dwellings on the floor above. All have doors directly to the outside of the building, rather than into a 'close', or common staircase, although some do retain a shared entrance. The name 'cottage flats' is confusing as before the mid 1920s cottage housing referred to a single house, normally semi-detached which contained living accommodation downstairs and bedrooms above. These were phased out by most urban local authorities as wasteful of space and economy after central government subsidies were reduced in the 1924 Housing Act. The majority consist of four dwellings per block, although such buildings are sometimes in the form of longer terraces. Many were built in the 1920s and 1930s as part of the 'Homes Fit For Heroes' programme but it has proved a popular housing model and examples are still being built today. Cottage flats are the predominant form of housing in many parts of Glasgow, including Knightswood, Mosspark and Carntyne.
