Cottages and, accordingly, cottage villages are becoming an increasingly popular type of housing for Russians. Constant stresses and dysfunctional ecology that have become a scourge of megacities make dreams of a country house on the banks of the river or at the edge of the forest, where in the morning not sirens of cars awaken, but cheerfully chirping birds incredibly attractive.
In addition, today cottage villages are not much different in terms of comfort from urban areas. They conducted all the necessary communications, including the Internet so much in demand today, there are convenient driveways, and the infrastructure is developed. However, in contrast, let’s say from citizens of potential “rural” inhabitants there is an opportunity to create a house to their liking, in which it will be as comfortable and comfortable as possible. Another plus, of course, is clean air and proximity to nature, which is especially important for children’s health. Well, to adult family members, a relatively small remoteness from the city and the established movement of public transport will maintain the necessary connection with the “civilization”. A great example of landscaped suburban housing is a cottage village for 67 km of Novorizhskoye Shosse.
Probably, many are interested in knowing when and how the first cottages appeared. It turns out the name of these suburban houses with an obligatory attic, comes from the English word “cottar”, which means “farm”. In the Middle Ages, such buildings were intended for farmers’ families. On the territory adjacent to them was a subsidiary farm: a garden, a garden, corns for cattle and birds. Sometimes a cottage was also called a plot of plowed land, fenced by a fence. Later, farm houses began to be combined into small villages. And already in the XVIII century, the first city workers settled in the cottages: weavers and miners.
