Tumbledown Cottage

This cottage is home to the Tanner family, and is situated in the village district of Riverside.

All of the staircases are on the outside of the building - this one at the front, and one at the side lead to the first floor and then a simple ladder leads to the top floor.

here you can see the side staircase.

 the back view of the cottage. The covered walkway passes right through the middle of the cottage to the tiny garden at the back, which has a small veg patch and some apple trees.

The ground floor rooms are accessed via the arched walkway. The main room on this floor is the traditional kitchen with open fire and dining table. The other side has a bathroom and a small bedroom which is used by the youngest of the three Tanner girls.

The fist floor has an external wrap-around path connecting the two staircases and the rooms, for easier access. The main living area is on this floor (I'm not much of an interior decorator, so it's pretty basic inside at the moment). Another bathroom sits over the walkway and the parents' bedroom is on the other side.

Up the ladder is a single attic room which is shared by the Tanner twin teenage girls.
