Next door is Tudor House (which is not Tudor at all) and next to that is Lyndhurst. Down the way a bit more is White Cliff Cottage (there are no white cliffs) and behind us here is a little place simply called "The Cottage". I have always wanted a named home, but I didn't realize I could just name it what I want. In that case I will have to name my flat "Seaview Height" because we have a sea view and we have the highest flat on the street. Done and dusted! I am surrounded by interesting homes.
