English Countryside · Porch: That Little Bit Before Entering

A small porch outside the main entrance of a cottage. It is a small, one-ping (approx. 3.3 sq m) brick or wooden eaves structure, covered with climbing roses or honeysuckle, which has completely covered the roof and drapes down beside the door frame. The door is a heavy old wooden door, painted grey-green with the wood color showing through from wear, featuring an iron door knocker and an old lock. The floor is brick, with a terracotta pot on each side planted with geraniums, a zinc bucket for umbrellas, and a pair of boots. An old iron lantern-style wall lamp is on the wall beside the door. Above the door is a small wooden sign with the house's name. The surrounding area has somewhat overgrown flowers and plants. Avoid: using modern aluminum and glass doors, neatly trimming plants, using modern house numbers and lighting, making the ground a flat concrete surface.

小屋正門外的一個小門廊。它是一個僅一坪的磚砌或木構小屋簷,上面爬著薔薇或忍冬,已經蓋滿屋頂並垂到門框旁。門是厚重的舊木門,漆成灰綠並磨出木色,有一個鐵製的門環與一把老鎖。地是磚,兩側各放一個赤陶盆種著天竺葵,還有一個裝雨傘的鋅桶與一雙靴子。門旁的牆上有一盞舊的鐵製提燈式壁燈。門的上方有一個小的木牌寫著房子的名字。周圍是有點蔓生的花草。避免:使用現代的鋁門與玻璃門、把植物修剪得整齊、使用現代的門牌與照明、把地面做成平整的水泥。
