The Hermitage, Church Road, Hanwell (snow scene)
The Hermitage was built in 1809 for The Rector of St. Mary's, Hanwell on the site of an old house called the Elms. One of the many springs in the locale still trickles from the garden at the rear.
Pevsner commented: The gem of the area surrounding Churchfields Recreation Grounds is The Hermitage. A peach of an early c19 Gothic thatched cottage with two pointed windows, a quatrefoil, and an ogee arched door, all on a minute scale. Inside, an octagonal hall and reception room? (Pevsner, London 3: North West).

The Hermitage: a thatched 'cottage orn?', Church Road, Hanwell
A pretty unlikely survival in suburban West London. The small quatrefoil windows can be plainly seen in this view, but it is also the case that the larger windows are Gothick in form - all typical of the 'cottage orné' fashion of the decades around 1800.
Compare an example in Kent:

Rather similar in style, though not in terms of materials, is:
