cottage là gì

A cottage, during England's feudal period, was the holding by a cottager (known as a cotter or bordar) of a small house with enough garden đồ sộ feed a family and in return for the cottage, the cottager had đồ sộ provide some size of service đồ sộ the manorial lord.^[2] However, in time cottage just became the general term for a small house. In modern usage, a cottage is usually a modest, often cosy dwelling, typically in a rural or semi-rural location and not necessarily in England. The cottage orné, often quite large and grand residences built by the nobility, dates back đồ sộ a movement of "rustic" stylised cottages of the late 18th and early 19th century during the Romantic movement.

In British English the term now denotes a small dwelling of traditional build, although it can also be applied đồ sộ modern construction designed đồ sộ resemble traditional houses ("mock cottages"). Cottages may be detached houses, or terraced, such as those built đồ sộ house workers in mining villages. The tied accommodation provided đồ sộ farm workers was usually a cottage, see cottage garden. In England the term holiday cottage now denotes a specialised size of residential let property, attracting various tax benefits đồ sộ the owner.

The holiday cottage exists in many cultures under different names. In American English, "cottage" is one term for such holiday homes, although they may also be called a "cabin", "chalet", or even "camp". In nước Australia, the term "cabin" is common, cottage usually referring đồ sộ a smaller pre-modern period dwelling. In certain countries (e.g. Nordics, Baltics, and Russia) the term "cottage" has local synonyms: In Finnish mökki, in Estonian suvila, in Latvian vasarnīca, in Livonian sõvvõkuodā, in Swedish stuga, in Norwegian hytte (from the German word Hütte), in Czech or Slovak chata or chalupa, in Russian дача (dacha).^[3]

In places such as Canada, "cottage" carries no connotations of size (compare with vicarage or hermitage).

Etymology[edit]

The word cottage (Medieval Latin cotagium) derives from Old English cot, cote "hut" and Old French cot "hut, cottage", from Old Norse kot "hut" and related đồ sộ Middle Low German kotten (cottage, hut). Examples of this may be found in 15th century manor court rolls.^{[citation needed]} The house of the cottage bore the Latin name: "domus",^[4] while the barn of the cottage was termed "grangia".

England[edit]

Medieval[edit]

The word originally referred đồ sộ a humble rural detached dwelling of a cotter, a semi-independent resident of a manor who had certain residential rights from the lord of the manor, and who in the social hierarchy was a grade above the slave (mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086), who had no right of tenure and worked full-time đồ sộ the orders of the lord. In the Domesday Book, they were referred đồ sộ as Coterelli.^[5] The cottage had a small amount of surrounding agricultural land, perhaps 2 or three acres, from which the resident gained his livelihood and sustenance. It was defined by its function of housing a cotter, rather kêu ca by its size, which varied, but it was certainly small and cheaply built and purely functional, with no non-essential architectural flourishes. It would have been built from the cheapest locally available materials and in the local style, thus in wheat-growing areas, it would be roofed in thatch, and in slate-rich locations, such as Cornwall, slates would be used for roofing. In stone-rich areas, its walls would be built of rubble stone, and in other areas, such as Devon, was commonly built from cob.^[6]

Industrial Revolution[edit]

In England from about the 18th century onwards, the development of industry led đồ sộ the development of weavers' cottages and miners' cottages.^[7] Friedrich Engels cites 'Cottages' as a poor quality dwelling in his 1845 work The Condition of the Working Class in England.

Enclosures Act[edit]

Over the years various English Acts of Parliament removed the right of the cottager đồ sộ hold land. According đồ sộ John Lawrence Hammond and Barbara Hammond in their book The Village Labourer, before the Enclosures Act the cottager was a farm labourer with land, and after the Enclosures Act the cottager was a farm labourer without land.^[8]

Legal definition[edit]

In the law of England and Wales the definition of a cottage is "a small house or habitation without land".^[5] However, originally under an Elizabethan statute, the cottage had đồ sộ be built with at least 4 acres (0.02 km²; 0.01 sq mi) of land.^[5]

Wales[edit]

The Welsh Tŷ unnos or "house in a night", was built by squatters on a plot of land defined by the throw of an axe from each corner of the property. In Welsh a cottage is known as bwthyn and its inhabitant preswlydd.^[9]

Scotland[edit]

In Scotland the equivalent đồ sộ cottager would be the crofter and the term for the building and its land would be croft.^[10]

Ireland[edit]

Irish cottages, known as Irish: teachín, were historically the homes of farmworkers and labourers, but in recent years the term has assumed a romantic connotation especially when referring đồ sộ cottages with thatched roofs (Irish: teach ceann tuí). These thatched cottages were once đồ sộ be seen all over Ireland, but most have become dilapidated due đồ sộ newer and modern developments. However, there has been a recent revival of restoring these old cottages, with people wanting a more traditional trang chủ. Today, thatched cottages are now mostly built for the tourist industry and many can be let out as accommodation.^[11]

Modern usage in Britain and Ireland[edit]

In popular modern culture, the term cottage is used in a more general and romantic context and can date from any era but the term is usually applied đồ sộ pre-modern dwellings. Older, pre-Victorian cottages tend đồ sộ have restricted height, and often have construction timber exposed, sometimes intruding into the living space. Modern renovations of such dwellings often seek đồ sộ re-expose timber purlins, rafters, posts, etc. which have been covered, in an attempt đồ sộ establish perceived historical authenticity.

Older cottages are typically modest, often semi-detached or terraced, with only four basic rooms ("two up, two down"), although subsequent modifications can create more spacious accommodation. A labourer's or fisherman's one-roomed house, often attached đồ sộ a larger property, is a particular type of cottage and is called a penty. The term cottage has also been used for a larger house that is practical rather kêu ca pretentious: see Chawton Cottage.

Outside Britain and Ireland[edit]

North America[edit]

Although the Oxford English Dictionary states that the term cottage is used in North America đồ sộ represent "a summer residence (often on a large and sumptuous scale) at a watering-place or a health or pleasure resort," most Americans expect a cottage, particularly a summer cottage, đồ sộ be a relatively small, possibly unfinished house. Various editions of the quintessentially American Webster's Dictionary define it as "a small house; any modest country or suburban dwelling," (fifth edition) with the eleventh edition describing even a vacation cottage as "a usu. small house for vacation use."

In North America, most buildings known as cottages are used for weekend or summer getaways by đô thị dwellers. Cottage owners often rent their properties đồ sộ tourists as a source of revenue. In Saint John, U.S. Virgin Islands, most cottages are vacation rentals used for weekend or summer getaways. In Michigan, a cottage normally means a summer residence farther north near or on a lake. An example of a colonial era cottage in North America is a small fieldstone house called Boelson Cottage in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia—one of the oldest extant houses within the đô thị (c.1678–84).

In the jargon of English-speaking Quebec's real-estate industry, a cottage is any two-storey house, as opposed đồ sộ a bungalow. However, "cottages" in Eastern Canada are generally located next đồ sộ lakes, rivers, or the ocean in forested areas. They are used as a place đồ sộ spend holidays with friends and family; common activities include swimming, canoeing, waterskiing, fishing, hiking, and sailing. There are also many well-known summer colonies. Cottage living is one of the most popular tourist draws in Ontario, Canada, parts of which have come đồ sộ be known as cottage country. This term typically refers đồ sộ the north and south shores of Georgian Bay, Ontario; Muskoka, Ontario; Haliburton, Ontario; and the Kawartha Lakes, Ontario; but has also been used đồ sộ describe several other Canadian regions. The practice of renting cottages has become widespread in these regions, especially with rising property taxes for waterfront property.

What Eastern Canadians refer đồ sộ as "cottages" (seasonal-use dwellings), are generally referred đồ sộ as "cabins" in most of North America. This is most notable in the Midwest and the Western United States, and Western Canada. In much of Northern Ontario, New England, and upstate Thành Phố New York, a summer house near a body toàn thân of water is known as a camp.^{[citation needed]} In the 1960s and 1970s, the A-Frame house became a popular cottage style in North America.

In the 1920s and 30s many gas stations were built in the style of Old World cottages. Comprising about a third of the stations built in the United States in those years, cottage-patterned facilities evoked a picturesque homeyness and were easier đồ sộ gain approval for kêu ca the more stylized or attention-grabbing designs also commonly used at the dawn of the automobile era.^[12]

Australia[edit]

In nước Australia, the term "cabin" or "shack" is commonly used for a small dwelling, the former more often for a place of residence or tourist accommodation and the latter for a simple recreational shelter, typically not continuously occupied. The term cottage usually refers đồ sộ historic smaller residential buildings, commonly stone or brick, typically from Georgian or Victorian. More recently, cabins are often also referred đồ sộ tiny houses, however, cabins are built at a permanent site on proper footings, while the term tiny house often implies that the dwelling is built on a trailer platform and can be relocated.

Nordic countries[edit]

Finland[edit]

Statistics Finland defines a cottage (Finnish: mökki, Finland Swedish: stuga or villa) as "a residential building that is used as a holiday or free-time dwelling and is permanently constructed or erected on its site".^[13] Finnish cottages are traditionally built of logs but other wood constructions have become common. They are usually situated close đồ sộ water and almost all have a sauna.

There are 474,277 cottages in Finland (2005), a country with 187,888 lakes and 179,584 islands, including rental holiday cottages owned by hospitality companies but excluding holiday villages and buildings on garden allotments. Reports have 4,172 new cottages built in 2005.^{[citation needed]} Most cottages are situated in the municipalities of Kuusamo (6,196 cottages on 1 January 2006), Kuopio (5,194), Ekenäs (Tammisaari – 5,053), Mikkeli (4,649), and Mäntyharju (4,630).^{[citation needed]}

Sweden[edit]

The formal Swedish term for cottages is fritidshus (vacation house) or stuga, of which there are 680.000 in Sweden (2007). According đồ sộ Statistics Sweden, about 50% of the Swedish population has access đồ sộ a vacation house.^[14] In everyday talk, Swedes refer đồ sộ their cottages as lantstället (the country house) or stugan (the cottage). Most vacation houses in Sweden are đồ sộ be found along the coasts and around the major cities. Prices vary a lot depending on location; a modern seaside house near Stockholm may cost 100 times as much as a simple cottage in the inner regions of northern Sweden.

Until the kết thúc of World War II, only a small wealthy Swedish elite could afford vacation houses—often both a large seaside house and a hunting cabin up north. During the rapid urbanisation in the 1950s and 1960s, many families were able đồ sộ retain their old farmhouses, village cottages, and fisherman cabins and convert them into vacation houses. In addition, economic growth made it possible even for low-income families đồ sộ buy small lots in the countryside where they could erect simple houses. Former vacation houses near the large cities have gradually been converted into permanent homes as a result of urban sprawl.

The traditional Swedish cottage is a simple paneled house made of wood and painted in red. They may contain 1–3 small bedrooms and also a small bathroom. In the combined kitchen and living room (storstuga) there is usually a fireplace. Today, many cottages have been extended with "outdoor rooms" (semi-heated external rooms with glass walls and a thin roof) and large wood terraces. As a result of the friggebod reform in 1979, many cottage owners have built additional guesthouses on their lots.

Norway[edit]

The formal Norwegian term for cottages is hytte or fritidsbolig (vacation house). In Norway, cabins are often built near leisure activities such as hunting, fishing, and outdoor life / outdoor sports, or in areas with particularly beautiful nature, such as in the woods, in the mountains, or by the sea. In the most attractive areas, it has become increasingly common with regulated fields where the cabins are very close together, in so-called "cabin villages". Chained cabins and holiday apartments are also being built here, similar đồ sộ a normal đô thị.

Russia[edit]

The first known "cottages" were built in Russia in the 19th century,^[15] when British culture was popular. Today many large cities in Russia are surrounded by cottage villages. So it is legitimate đồ sộ talk about the appearance of the term "Russian cottage" - a house, comparable in size đồ sộ a British villa or even a mansion, and includes a corresponding piece of land.^[16]

South Africa[edit]

Much lượt thích in the rest of the world cottages in South Africa housed agricultural workers and their friends and families. A number of cottages were also constructed for fishermen along the West and South Coasts of the country throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Most cottages are single-storey two đồ sộ four-roomed structures sometimes with an attic for storing supplies. Most cottages in the Western Cape area of South Africa have thatched roofs and stone or adobe walls which were traditionally whitewashed. A large number of the remaining cottages in the country are listed heritage sites.^{[citation needed]}
